<pre><a target="_top" href="../../../../index.php?menuaction=felamimail.uicompose.compose&send_to=bmNsLWluc3RhbGxAdWNhci5lZHU="></a>Dear all,
I am new in NCL. I am trying to install NCL in Linux i686 with gcc 4.1.2, and then I download
ncl_ncarg-5.1.0.Linux_i686_gcc412.tar.gz to my system. I am following steps to install NCL.
I create a new directory to put the tar file in my local machine named /geox3/rima/NCL
