Re: NCARG 5.1.0 installation problem

Vijay,

You need to install the X11 development libraries before you
can build NCL and other applications like idt and tdpackdemo.
This will give you libraries like "libXext.a", "libXm.a", etc.

You didn't say what kind of system this was, but you can google for
"X11 development libraries" along with your system (linux, macos) and
should get some information that way.

I agree with Samrat, installing from a precompiled binary is easier!
