[ncl-install] NCL installation with intel compilers

[Mary Haley]

Hi Babu,

We don't have any precompiled binaries that were built with the Intel compilers.

If you are just interested in using "ncl" then you should be able to download
a gcc/gfortran compiled version and try that.  You might get a complaint
that it can't find a "libgfortran.so" type of file, but there are ways to fix this:

If you actually need to compile NCAR Graphics or HLU C or Fortran code,
then you should still be able to use gcc/gfortran compiled binaries with
your Intel compilers, but you might have to "help" the Intel compiler by
adding some system libraries on the compile line, like "-lgfortran".

If you absolutely need an Intel-compiled version of NCL, then you can download
the source code and copy one of the LINUX*INTEL* files in the $NCARG/config
directory to $NCARG/config/LINUX and modify it to your needs. I would start
with the $NCARG/config/LINUX.INTEL file, since you have a 32-bit system.

There may be other folks on this email list who have done an Intel compile
of NCL. If so, I would be curious to know if the LINUX.INTEL file worked
as is, or if it had to be modified.
