[ncl-install] Problem installing ncl 5.1.0 and Intel compilers

[Mark Keever]

I am having problems building the NCL-5.1.0 package.  (I had similar problems on this particular system with 5.0.0) I am trying to build ncarg only.  I have built hdf, libpng, libz using Intel compilers, and all passed their built-in tests.

When I compile ncl, I am not getting all programs to compile successfully; in particular, I am not getting components of idt (if I run it, I get an illegal seek).  I am using source code for 5.1.0 and both Intel C++ and FORTRAN compilers.  The specifics are:

Linux:  Redhat Enterprise Linux 5.3, kernel 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5
AMD Opteron architecture
Intel 10.1.018 C++ and FORTRAN

Some errors in the make-output file are:

Relocatable linking with relocations from format elf32-i386 (conraq.o) to format elf64-x86-64 (libconraq.o) is not supported - many similar
akedepend: warning:  bcopyswap.c (reading /usr/include/bits/types.h, line 31): cannot find include file "stddef.h" – many similar
makedepend: warning:  logic32.c (reading ../../.././include/ncarg/c.h, line 68): cannot find include file "stdarg.h"

A note about the .h files, they seem to be located in the /usr/include/linux directory on my machine, but if I include that directory, the “linux” is replaced with “1” in the makefile generation such as /usr/include/1


My LINUX file for Configure looks like this:
/*
 *  Description: This file contains all the directives needed to
 *               tell ymake how to build NCARG/NCL on a 64-bit Linux
 *               system using the INTEL compilers.
 * 
 *               Copy this file to the LINUX file in this directory
 *               before you start the NCL/NCARG build.
