Re: 5.2.0 for RH 64 bit question?

Hi Gerry,

Don't worrry about it.

For just running "ncl", it doesn't care where the files are. It uses
NCARG_ROOT
to find things like fonts, map databases, and Udunits files.

If you need to compile programs, it doesn't matter either as long
as you have -L$NCARG_ROOT/lib on your compilation line.

If you use any of the nhlcc, ncargcc, nhlf77, ncargf77 type of
helper compilation scripts, they will automatically include -L
$NCARG_ROOT/lib
on the compile line for you.

If the "lib" bothers you, you can certainly rename "lib" to "lib64",
but then
you will need to additionall set the NCARG_LIB environment variable
to this path. For example, if you installed to "/usr/local", and
moved the "/usr/local/lib" files to "/usr/local/lib64", then you
would need this:

   setenv NCARG_LIB /usr/local/lib64 --> needed if "lib" changed to
"lib64"

in addition to:

   setenv ROOT /usr/local
