Re: ut_inv_calendar and units in 5.2.0

Hi folks,

I've compiled a new set of binaries for people who are having
trouble running one of the LINUX versions of NCL 5.2.0.

This only applies if you downloaded one of these binaries:

   ncl_ncarg-5.2.0.Linux_i686_gcc432.tar.gz
   ncl_ncarg-5.2.0.Linux_Debian_i686_gcc412.tar.gz
   ncl_ncarg-5.2.0.Linux_x86_64_gcc432.tar.gz
   ncl_ncarg-5.2.0.Linux_Debian_x86_64_gcc412.tar.gz

and are having problems running "ncl" because of issues with "libcrypto"
or "libcurl" or a similar file. This is due to these binaries being
OPeNDAP-enabled and having shared library dependencies on
special files.

To get a new set of binaries that were built without OPeNDAP support,
login
to the ESG again (http://esg.ucar.edu) and download one of the
*non* OPenDAP-enabled binaries:

   ncl_ncarg-5.2.0.Linux_i686_nodap_gcc432.tar.gz
   ncl_ncarg-5.2.0.Linux_Debian_i686_nodap_gcc412.tar.gz
   ncl_ncarg-5.2.0.Linux_x86_64_nodap_gcc432.tar.gz
   ncl_ncarg-5.2.0.Linux_Debian_x86_64_nodap_gcc412.tar.gz

These can be found by clicking:

      NCL -> NCL Version 5.2.0 -> NCL Version 5.2.0 precompiled
binaries, not OPenDAP enabled

You can email me directly if you continue to have problems with these
binaries.
