Hi Hauss,
I don't know for this specific computer, but I've seen something
similar before. The question for you is whether this system supports
more than one kind of binary: 32-bit vs. 64-bit, for instance. These
tend not to play nicely together. Do you have a 64-bit version of NCL?
Did WRAPIT compile consistently with your NCL?
Or maybe it's incompatible in some other way: two different Fortran
compilers, for instance.
