problems linking ncl with other libraries

Hello,

I am having problems linking ncar version 6 with some plotting package for
ROMS, the old version of ncar seemed to be able to run (4.2.2) but now when
I
re-installed this version I had problems linking with ncar. Please see
message
below that was sent to me by the ROMS staff. I would appreciate giving me
access to 4.2.2 or guide me to solving this problem. Thank you,

Here is my email:
Hello everybody,
I have results from my ROMS simulation and generated netcdf files
ocean_avg.nc,
ocean_his.nc, ocean_rst.nc, etc.

I would like to plot the results and I tried the roms_gui but did not load
properly, not even the nc files from the default sample problem upstream.
Anyway, I am trying now the roms tools that I downloaded from svn checkout
https://www.myroms.org/svn/src/plot

I installed the ncl version 6 and seems to work. But when I try the makefile
in the plot tools I got the following error:

I would be grateful if someone can guide me to solve this problem and/or
telling me of another plotting tool that I can use to view my results.

Thanks!
Rafael

this means that your used code (i.e., Hernan's plotting package) attempts to
access common blocks
of NCL/NCARG libraries. It is a standard practice when using NCAR graphics
in
a fairly advanced
mode. Unfortunately sometimes NCAR graphics people change these common
blocks
internally by adding
more variables. When your code is designed to work with a certain version of
NCAR graphics
library may not be consistent with a newer version. It did happened
before.mapcm4_

The only way to fix this is to find declarations of common blocks "mapcm1",
"mapcm2", and "mapcm4"
inside the source code of NCAR graphics libraries (I guess, these are
somewhere within areas package
inside ncarg2d and them modify parts of your own code to bring sequence of
variables in the common
block be exactly the same as inside NCAR graphics libraries. It is tedious,
but there is no way around.
