[ncl-install] ncl - libbz2 shared libraries

[Brandon Fisel]

Hi Mary,

I was able to fix this by adding: setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$HOME/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

ldd $NCARG_ROOT/bin/ncl returns (for the only occurrence of
libbz2): libbz2.so.1.0 => /u/fisel/lib/libbz2.so.1.0 (0x00007fa2563d9000)
I do not have access to the locate command.
