[ncl-install] NCL Installation Question ---

[I-Lin Tang]

Dear Ladies and Gents,

I have just trying to install NCL software onto a 64-bit linux system 
running RHEL5. Since it fulfills the requirement of using the binary 
distribution, the binary from the  site was used.  The installation was 
successful.  However whenever I tried to run the 'ncl' command, the 
following error message proceeds:

*/usr/local/ncl/bin/ncl: error while loading shared libraries: 
libgfortran.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

*By reading the 'Trouble shooting" part of the web, it shows:

*Special note for Linux systems*

*The default configuration file for Linux is "LINUX". You need to edit 
this file for i386, i686, and x86_64 systems. There are several 
LINUX./xxxx/ sample configuration files to help you modify this file for 
your purpose. Also, see the "README" file in the "config" directory for 
more information. *

*If you are using the "gcc" and "gfortran" compilers to build NCL, then 
you will need to include something like: *

*#define CtoFLibraries   -lgfortran
*

*in the $NCARG/config/LINUX file. You may also need to indicate the path 
to the gfortran library with the -L option: *

*#define CtoFLibraries -L/usr/local/lib -lgfortran
*

*"/usr/local/lib" is just an example. You will need to find 
"libgfortran.so" or "libgfortran.a" on your system and use this path. *

*If you are using "gcc" and "g95" to compile NCL, then you need to do 
the same thing, except use "-lf95" in place of "-lgfortran". Ditto for 
if you are using the Intel compilers "icc" and "ifort", you may need 
"-lifcore".
*

*
*

However, since I install with the binary distribution, I cannot find 
anywhere that has 'config' in my sub-directories.  Could you please 
share some clue how I can go over this barrier on installation.

Many thanks.
