Re: optional GDAL is needed for compiling NCL

Hi John,

This is a build issue that has been fixed for the next release. In the meantime I am attaching the corrected yMakefile for the <src_tree_root>/ni/src/ncl directory.
Please copy this file to the above-named directory. Then from within this directory type at the command line:

rm -f ncl
make me
make includes depend
make

Assuming this works, you can then type

make install

to put it in your installed location.

In the future please post build and install questions to the ncl-install mailing list.
