There doesn't seem to be the library iconv in the Ubuntu 14.04<br>
distribution. It is interesting that there is the command iconv that<br>
converts encoding of given files from one encoding to another, which I<br>
presume is the function that is being used in the ncar graphics routines.<br>
<br>
I have read that I can get this library from ftp to<br>
<a href="http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libiconv" target="_blank">ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libiconv</a> where the latest source is libiconv-1.14.tar.gz<br>
with a date of 7 August 2011. If I get this and compile it, where should<br>
it be installed (gnu suggests /usr/local path) to be in the same path as<br>
the other libraries that ncarg uses? Or would it be best, as an add-on<br>
to put in /usr/local path and then just make sure LD_LIBRARY_PATH was<br>
set to find it?<br>
<br>
Thank,<br>
