<div><br></div><div>Hi folks,</div><div><br></div><div>I've been working offline with <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; ">Guangshan Chen who attempted to build NCL V5.1.1 on a 64-bit Mac OS 10.6 (snow leopard) system.</span></div><div><br></div><div>Unfortunately, there was a problem building the HDF4 library, and the HDF folks do not have a fix yet. Guangshan contacted them and they responded that they will be getting such a system soon and hope to get it working.</div><div><br></div><div>Until this happens, building NCL from source code will not be possible, because HDF4 is not an optional package.</div><div><br></div><div>You should still be able to run a precompiled binary built under Mac OS 10.5. This will be a 32-bit binary, however. If you need to run WRAPIT, you will need to make a change to it so it uses the 32-bit compiler.</div><div><br></div><div>Guangshan provided a fix, see: <a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Support/install_archives/2009/0295.html">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Support/install_archives/2009/0295.html</a></div><div><br></div><div>--Mary</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
