I hope it should work, because I tried to build as statically as possible, meaning I tried to get rid of any libgfortran dependencies.</div><div><br></div><div>As a quick test for you to try before downloading the whole software, I created a couple of "ncl" executables for you to try. One is OPeNDAP-enabled and built under a RedHat x86_64 system, and the other is non-OPeNDAP enabled, built on a Debian x86_64 system. </div><div><br></div><div>To get them from our ftp system:</div><div><br></div><div><div>ftp <a href="http://ftp.ucar.edu">ftp.ucar.edu</a></div><div>[login as anonymous with email address as password]</div><div>cd pub/scd/haley</div><div>get ncl.test</div><div>get ncl.test.nodap</div><div>quit</div><div><br></div><div>Once you're out of ftp, type the following to see if these executables even work. </div><div><br></div><div><div>chmod gou+x ncl.test ncl.test.nodap</div><div><div>./ncl.test -V</div></div><div><div>./ncl.test.nodap -V</div></div><div><br></div></div><div>You will likely see some errors about NCARG_ROOT not being set, but you can ignore these.
