[ncl-install] ncl rhel6 binary install - error while testing

[Doraiswamy, Prakash]

Hi,

 

I downloaded the following binary version of the NCL/NCARG package:

 

ncl_ncarg-6.1.2.Linux_RHEL6.2_x86_64_nodap_gcc472.tar.gz

 

and placed the extracted folders in /usr/local and updated NCARG_ROOT
path in my cshrc file.

 

When I tested the installation: "ng4ex gsun01n" worked fine, but the
ncarg test "ncargex cpex08" failed.  Here is the error message I am
getting:

 

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.4.6/../../../libXext.so when
searching for -lXext

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libXext.so when searching
for -lXext

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext

Collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The compile and link failed.

 

I see the following files installed when I do ls *Xext* in /usr/lib and
/usr/lib64:

 

/usr/lib/libXext.so   (symbolic link to so.6.4.0)

/usr/lib/libXext.so.6  (symbolic link)

/usr/lib/libXext.so.6.4.0

 

/usr/lib64/libXext.so.6

/usr/lib64/libXext.so.6.4.0

 

I have RHEL6 on my cluster. gcc -v  returns "gcc version 4.4.6 20120305
(Red Hat 4.4.6-4) (GCC)"

 

Can you please guide as to where the problem might be?  I even tried
with the binary ending in gcc446.tar.gz, but still got the same message.
Thanks for your help.

 

Thanks,

Prakash
