[ncl-install] Status of NCL under MacOS 10.6 (64-bit)

[Ted Mansell]

Mary, et al:

A colleague found instructions for building HDF4 on OS 10.6 in 64-bit  
here:

http://www.kyngchaos.com/macosx:build:hdf

He followed the instructions exactly, and was able to compile a 64-bit  
HDF library just fine.

Best,
