Re: question concerning installation of NCL 5.1.1 64-bit binary for x86_64 chips for LINUX (compiled with gcc 3.3.0)

Sean,

Do you have any "libstd++.so" library at all?

Which i686 binary did you download?

I've attached libstdc++.so.6.0.10. You can try it:

    ln -s libstdc++.so.6.0.10 libstdc++.so.6
    setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH `pwd`

or, if you already have a LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

   setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $LD_LIBRARY_PATH:`pwd

Then, just try:

    ncl -V

I'm kind of in a hurry, so I need to run, but let me know
if the above works. I may check my email later tonight.

--Mary
