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

[guangshan chen]

Hi Ted,

I just tried to build HDF4 on 10.6 as the instruction. I am failed. Could you forward my email to your colleague? I would like to discuss with him.

I came to the "configure" step. But I could not use "CFLAGS="-Os -arch i386 -arch ppc -arch x86_64 -arch ppc64"
It gave me the following error:
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... (cached) yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... 
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

I got rid of this option, it could be configured. I finished the left steps and type "make check".

It would pop out this error:
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `../../mfhdf/libsrc/libmfhdf.la', needed by `fortestF'.  Stop.

I cd to mfhdf/libsrc directory and typed "make" to make libmfhdf.la.

The building progress continued, but it stopped again at reading 24-bit JPEG compressed image.

Testing  -- 24BIT RASTER IMAGE INTERFACE (24bit) 
24-bit JPEG quality 80 image was incorrect
ret=-9, sizeof(jpeg_24bit_orig)=3174
24-bit JPEG quality 30 image was incorrect
ret=-5, sizeof(jpeg_24bit_orig)=3174
24-bit JPEG quality 75 image was incorrect
ret=-4, sizeof(jpeg_24bit_orig)=3174
