[ncl-install] Cannot find -liconv

Thu Aug 7 09:54:06 MDT 2014

If you are not getting any errors on the second line, then that's probably
a good thing!

If the compilation was successful, you now need to run "./cpex08" on the
UNIX command line:

./cpex08

This should produce a file called "gmeta".  You can look at this file with:

   ctrans -d X11 gmeta
