<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=946491021-03032011> After
discovering the attributes of our system, we installed NCL using the precompiled
binary for Redhat Linux x86_64 for NCL version 5.2.1. After following the
instructions for setting up our environment correctly everything seemed to work
fine when we'd try to run NCL with our WRF output (we have made many NCL
plots without issue). However, plotgrids.exe and plotgrids.ncl never built in
our WPS/util directory. Is this because we are building everything (WRF,
WPS...) with PGI compilers, and the precompiled binary of NCL was built
using gfortran? Is there a precompiled binary for our redhat linux x86_64 system
that was built with PGI compilers. We have gotten our feet wet trying to install
NCL from source code by altering the LINUX ymake file...but this seems
incredibly complicated and not without inevitable errors. </SPAN></FONT><FONT
