[ncl-install] problem with Build NCL from source code on AIX

[Mary Haley]

qWei,

I am not familiar with building on an AIX PowerPC system. I didn't have
any problems building this file on an AIX Pwr6 system using
the exact same compile options as you:

   be1105en.ucar.edu[144] xlc -q32 -qalign=natural -D_LARGE_FILES -O3
   -qstrict -I../../ncl -I../../../.././include
   -I/g/app/libjpeg-6b/include -I/u/weimin/soft/zlib-1.2.3/include
   -I/u/weimin/soft/HDF4.2r4/include -DSYSV -D_POSIX_SOURCE -DRS6000
   -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1 -DNeedFuncProto -c wrfW.c
   be1105en.ucar.edu[145]

Perhaps there's an additional option you need to get this compiler to
work on code like this? This code has compiled on several systems with
different compilers.
