[ncl-install] NCAR Graphics on an IBM Sandybridge cluster

[George Vandenberghe]

I downloaded NCL 6.0 source and built it with both ifort and gfortran. A 
previous message asked if idt was removed but it wasn't. I had a build 
error because we don't have an Xaw.h include on our system. Other 
utilities and the ncar graphics libraries seemed to work. However 
management wants NCL 6.1. I downloaded this and built with the default 
gfortran. It now needs cairo, expat, bz2, and pixman-1 libraries to test 
ncargex wmex11. Are these now fundamental for NCAR Graphics 
functionality with RedHat Linux on Intel chips  so I should ask my 
admins to install them on my system? Thanks for response.
