Binaries are in /usr/bin, so NCARG_ROOT=/usr

Libraries (lib*.a) are in /usr/lib/ncarg or /usr/lib64/ncarg, hence 
NCARG_LIB=/usr/lib/ncarg (or /usr/lib64/ncarg).

Thanks.  Forgot to do this when I moved the data files to /usr/share/ncarg.

I think I can reproduce the segfault.  Looks like the fontcap files 
generated during the build have their endian-ness reversed from the 
fontcap files in the Linux i686 binary package.  Any idea what would be 
causing that?
