[ncl-install] Update from ncl 6.3.0 to 6.4.0

[JeremyWinick]

The Ubuntu package for ncl-ncarg is an older version (v6.3.0) that does 
work and obviously is easy to install. It puts files in places that 
conform with the Ubuntu/Linux standard which IS NOT where an install 
supported by the NCL team would put them. This can cause confusion with 
environmental variables and the like, and also means you don't get any 
updates unless someone creates an Ubuntu (.deb) package and uploads it 
to one of the trusted Ubuntu repositories. If you do install a later 
package (v 6.4.0) as suggested below, you will either have to remove the 
one installed via the Ubuntu package manager, or be careful about how 
your paths are defined.
