[ncl-install] Binary install problem on RHEL5

[Thomas Mote]

I have used NCAR Graphics on RHEL5 before, but I wanted
to use NCL. NCL isn't available in the package I installed
on RHEL5, so I removed it ("yum remove ncarg-devel", which
also removed the ncarg package) and tried to install from
the binaries available from ESG.

I can't seem to get it to work. You can see below what I
did. NCL is looking for "sysresfile" in /usr/lib. I believe
the NCARG_ROOT and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables
are set correctly for /usr/local and /usr/local/lib,
respectively. (I also tried putting /usr/local/lib at the
beginning of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH with the same result.)

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Tom
