[ncl-install] Problems with building NCL using the Intel compiler suite

[David Mechem]

Greetings,

I'm having issues building NCL from source using the Intel compiler 
suite. I'm building a vanilla version without OPeNDAP and netCDF-4 
support. The NCARGraphics libraries and many of the utilities seem to be 
building OK, but NCL does not. I'm using version 11.0 of ifort and icc, 
64-bit CENTos kernel 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5.

I'm getting compilation errors on three files. The errors are all of a 
similar type and appear to be related to the variable "compound" being 
multiply defined.
