[ncl-install] fatal:Value too large for defined data type

[Teresa Valkonen]

Hello,

I tried to install NCL 5.1.0 and I thought I did it successfully since I
can run test scripts without problems. But now I have a major problem. I
am not able to read in my data which is output from WRF model. 

I try to read the file like this:
a = addfile("../cases/dec07/wrfout_d03_2007-12-29_00:00:00.nc","r")

And I keep getting this error message:
fatal:Value too large for defined data type
fatal:Could not open (../cases/dec07/wrfout_d03_2007-12-29_00:00:00)

The file is about 12 Gb big but I never had any problems with the older
version of NCL. Would you know what the problem is? I have a i686
GNU/Linux.
