[ncl-install] install ncl 6.4.0 on geyser

[Dennis Shea]

You do not need to use conda for yellowstone. Mary Haley sent the following
in April 2016.

Hi all,

I created a module for the development version of NCL that is built
nightly.

Please use the module command instead of the previous instructions I sent.
The old directory:

/glade/p/work/haley/dev/ncl-trunk-gnu472-opt

is no longer going to get updated nightly.

To use the new module, first type:

module use /glade/apps/contrib/ncl-nightly/modules

You will have to do this every time you login, or you can add this path to
your MODULEPATH in your .tcshrc/.bashrc/ file:

setenv MODULEPATH /glade/apps/contrib/ncl-nightly/modules:${MODULEPATH}

or

export MODULEPATH=/glade/apps/contrib/ncl-nightly/modules:${MODULEPATH}
Then you can type:

module load ncltest

*This is a *development* version of NCL. Please do not use in a production
environment. *

You can quickly test with:

module load ncltest
which ncl
env | grep NCARG_ROOT
ncl -V
ng4ex xy01n -W png -clean

The "which" and "env" commands should report:

NCARG_ROOT=/glade/u/apps/contrib/ncl-nightly/gnu/4.7.2
/glade/u/apps/contrib/ncl-nightly/gnu/4.7.2/bin/ncl

The "ncl -V" command should report something like:

6.4.0-16Apr2016_0929
