The cairo one is a bit odd because the file ft2build.h is found under /usr/include/freeman2.

Please see our documentation on building from source: <a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/build_from_src.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.ncl.ucar.ed<wbr>u/Download/build_from_src.shtm<wbr>l</a></div><div><br></div><div>When you run the Configure script, the second prompt asks for a “Parent installation directory” to install NCL to:</div><div><font face="Menlo">Parent installation directory : /usr/local/ncarg<br>Enter Return (default), new directory, or q(quit) > /path/to/install/ncl<br></font></div><div><br></div><div>The default is “/usr/local/ncarg”, but you can change this to any directory you want (note that the NCL binary will be installed to the “bin” subdirectory of the directory you specify, so “/usr/local/ncarg/bin” by default or “/path/to/install/ncl/bin” in my example). You can also define the installation directory in the file “config/Site.local”:</div><div><font face="Menlo">#define YmakeRoot /path/to/install/ncl<br></font></div><div><br></div><div>Building NCL with “make Everything” should install NCL when it’s done compiling, but if your user account does not have write privileges to the installation directory (this might be a problem for “/usr/local/ncarg”) you may need to run “sudo make install” to complete the installation process.</div><div><br></div><div>Additionally, it looks like your build did not run successfully. If you run the command “<font face="Menlo">grep -C3 'error' $logfile</font>” , where $logfile is your make log (“logs” if you use the file you attached to your email), you’ll see several errors related to missing libraries, for example:</div><div><font face="Menlo">gfortran -fPIC -fno-second-underscore -fno-range-check -fopenmp -O -o tdpackdemo TdpackDemo.o -L../../../.././ncarg2d/src/li<wbr>bncarg -lncarg -L../../../.././ncarg2d/src/li<wbr>bncarg_gks -lncarg_gks -L../../../.././common/src/lib<wbr>ncarg_c -lncarg_c -lcairo -lXrender -lfontconfig -lpixman-1 -lfreetype -lexpat -lpng -lz -liconv -lbz2 -lpng -lz -L/usr/local/ncarg/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -lX11 -lXext <br>/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -liconv<br>/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lbz2<br>collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status<br>Makefile:495: recipe for target 'tdpackdemo' failed<br>make[4]: *** [tdpackdemo] Error 1<br>make[4]: Leaving directory '/home/winash12/meteorology_pr<wbr>oject/ncl_ncarg-6.4.0/ncarg2d/<wbr>src/bin/tdpackdemo'</font></div><div><br></div><div>In this case, it appears as though the iconv and bzip2 libraries were not found by the compiler. You will likely need to install these (and other packages) using your system’s package manager (assuming you’re using Linux) or build them from source.

I’d be glad to continue helping you build NCL from source, but if you do not explicitly need to build it yourself it is often much easier to install an NCL binary tarball.</div><div><br></div><div>I hope this helps!</div><div><br></div><div>Kevin</div><div><br><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Jan 14, 2018, at 10:57 PM, ashwin .D via ncl-install <<a href="mailto:ncl-install@ucar.edu" target="_blank">ncl-install@ucar.edu</a>> wrote:</div><br class="m_6135148476344522634m_3864085999600450374m_1179783512530612819m_5697128258289652453m_-970895188171043767Apple-interchange-newline"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hello,<br></div> I am trying to build NCL 6.4 from source.
