Re: a new user's question

Xianghui,

I highly recommend installing NCL from a precompiled binary and not
source code. I believe there's a yum installation NCL that you can
try.

Otherwise, you have a Linux system, and we provide binaries for
several Linux/compiler combinations. I recommend getting a non-OPeNDAP
enabled binary.

To determine which binary you need, on your Linux machine type:

    uname -m
    gcc --version

If "uname -m" reports "x86_64", then you need a 64-bit version. If it
reports something like "i386", then you need a 32-bit version.

"gcc --version" will give you the gcc version.

Here are the various binaries we provide. Hopefully one of them
matches your system:

   32-bit binary for i686 chips for LINUX (compiled with gcc 4.1.2)
   32-bit binary for i686 chips for LINUX (compiled with gcc 4.3.2)
   64-bit binary for IA64 chips for LINUX (compiled with gcc 4.1.2)
   64-bit binary for x86_64 chips for LINUX (compiled with gcc 3.3.0)
   64-bit binary for x86_64 chips for LINUX (compiled with gcc 4.1.2)
   64-bit binary for x86_64 chips for LINUX (compiled with gcc 4.2.2)
   64-bit binary for x86_64 chips for LINUX (compiled with gcc 4.3.2)

Once you download the file, go to:

for instructions.
