ncl 6.1.0 OS X 10.6

I got the binary for OS X 10.6 : ncl_ncarg-6.1.0.macos_10.6_i386_64bit_gcc460.tar.gz

the default gcc ( Xcode) for 10.6 is gcc 4.2.1.

the result is that the ESMF code fails because it cannot find - libquadmath.
I believe libquadmath first appeared in gcc 4.6.

The file clearly indicates that it was build using gcc4.60, but this is a difficulty since it requires that
gcc 4.6 is installed. This is a non-trivial requirement and somewhat undercuts the usefulness of this distribution.

I'm not complaining ( after all it is free ) but this is to provide a warning. Sometimes you can get away with older compiler versions and sometimes you can't.

I would be interested in knowing how you got gcc4.6 on OS X 10.6? At one time it was available to Apple developers ( $99) but I think even that is no more.
