Re: -lcairo

Hi again,

Rick Brownrigg pointed out something I should have mentioned here: you may already have the necessary libraries on your system, but you will have to find them and then include a "-L option on your compile line.

First, you can try finding the necessary files with commands like this:

   locate libcairo
   locate libfontconfig
   etc

On my machine, they are in:

   /opt/local/lib

You can now edit $NCARG_ROOT/bin/ncargf77 (or make your own copy of this file) and add this path to the end of the "syslibdir" variable:

set syslibdir = "-L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/opt/local/lib"
