Good morning. <br>
I've downloaded NCL (v6.2.0) from the web page
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.earthsystemgrid.org/dataset/ncl.620.html">https://www.earthsystemgrid.org/dataset/ncl.620.html</a> and i've chosen
a Linux OPeNDAP-enabled version, more exactly the <u>ncl_ncarg-6.2.0.Linux_Debian7.4_x86_64_gcc472.tar.gz</u>
file, according to the guidelines contained in this page
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/linux.shtml">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/linux.shtml</a>. I have an Ubuntu
system (v13.10) with gcc v4.8.1. <br>
After the installation, the test <i>ng4ex gsun01n -clean</i> works
well, but the test <i>ncargex cpex08 -clean</i> gives the following
results<br>
<br>
<small>NCAR Graphics Fortran Example <cpex08><br>
<br>
Copying cpex08.f<br>
<br>
Copying cpexcc.f<br>
<br>
Compiling and linking...<br>
gfortran -fPIC -fno-second-underscore -fno-range-check -fopenmp -O
-o cpex08 cpexcc.f cpex08.f -L/usr/local/ncl-6.2.0/lib
-L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -lncarg -lncarg_gks -lncarg_c -lX11 -lXext
-lcairo -lfontconfig -lpixman-1 -lfreetype -lexpat -lpng -lz
-liconv -lXrender -lbz2<br>
/usr/bin/ld: impossibile trovare -liconv<br>
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status<br>
<br>
The compile and link failed.</small><br>
<br>
where "impossibile trovare" means "cannot find". <br>
Unfortunately, I must have NCAR Graphics working on my system...
I've already installed the libraries suggest in
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/linux.shtml">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/linux.shtml</a> and also iconv (v2.17),
as suggested in
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Support/install_archives/2014/0141.html">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Support/install_archives/2014/0141.html</a>. I
failed when I tried to compile the <i>CPEX08 </i>program without<i>
-liconv</i> and to modify any "ncarg" file by myself. Any other
suggestions?<br>
Thanks a lot. <br>
