[ncl-install] NCAR Graphics - Test fails

[Smriti Prathapan]

Hi, 

I am trying to install the NCAR Graphics on a Linux machine.

I have installed NCL from the precompiles binaries following the instructions at https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/install.shtml. 
NCL version is NCAR Command Language Version 6.2.0 and the system that I am working on is Linux intel19 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.54-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux. 


I could test the following command successfully. 
 ng4ex gsun01n -clean

However, the test for NCAR Graphics fails. When I try the execute the following: 
ncargex cpex08 -clean
I get error: 
NCAR Graphics Fortran  Example <cpex08>

  Copying cpex08.f

  Copying cpexcc.f

Compiling and linking...
gfortran -fPIC -fno-second-underscore -fno-range-check -fopenmp -O -o cpex08 cpexcc.f cpex08.f -L/home/smritip1/NOAA/new_gsi/ncl_ncarg-6.2.0/lib -lncarg -lncarg_gks -lncarg_c -lX11 -lXext -lcairo -lfontconfig -lpixman-1 -lfreetype -lexpat -lpng -lz -lpthread -lbz2 -lXrender
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lbz2
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

The compile and link failed.

I don’t quite understand how to resolve this. Is this related to the zlib library ? I have already installed zlib. Could you please guide me how to fix this?

Thanks,
Smriti Prathapan
