[ncl-install] problem for installing plot_soundings.exe of OBGRIB

[Mary Haley]

Lijun,

You might trying googling some of these error messages.  My guess is that you need the development version of cairo, and you may only have the run-time version of cairo.

Or, maybe you just have an older version of cairo.  Whenever you get "undefined references" like this, you can look for them using the "nm" command on your library:

  nm /usr/lib64/libcairo.so | grep cairo_move_to

You should see something like:

0000000000001838 T _cairo_move_to

If you only see something like:

                 U _cairo_move_to

then the symbol is not defined in that library, but is referenced by that library.
