[ncl-install] Library iconv not available in Ubuntu 14.04

[Mary Haley]

Jeremy,

You may not need this library. Some systems require it and some don't.

Try editing the $NCARG_ROOT/bin/ncargf77 file (using any UNIX editor) to
remove the reference to "-liconv", and then rerun "ncargex cpex08".

If you get errors after you remove it, please email me the errors.
