An additional perk of using “conda” is that it’s cross-platform; NCL, PyNGL, PyNIO, and WRF-Python are all available via “conda” for both Mac and Linux (and Windows for WRF-Python). Also, I am the primary maintainer of the “conda-forge” NCL, PyNGL, and PyNIO packages (Bill Ladwig handles WRF-Python), so we are much more involved in the build process on “conda” than we are on Macports.<br class=""><div><br class=""></div><div>I hope this helps!</div><div>Kevin</div><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jul 20, 2018, at 6:24 PM, Dave Allured - NOAA Affiliate <<a href="mailto:dave.allured@noaa.gov" class="">dave.allured@noaa.gov</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">This might also be important:<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="">mac56:/home/dallured/ncl/6.5.0 136> ldd /opt/local/lib/libnetcdf.11.dylib</div><div class="">/opt/local/lib/libnetcdf.11.dylib:</div><div class=""><span class="gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>/opt/local/lib/libnetcdf.11.dylib (compatibility version 11.0.0, current version 11.4.0)</div><div class=""><span class="gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>/opt/local/lib/libhdf5_hl.100.dylib (compatibility version 102.0.0, current version 102.0.0)</div><div class=""><span class="gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>/opt/local/lib/libhdf5.101.dylib (compatibility version 103.0.0, current version 103.0.0)</div><div class=""><span class="gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>/opt/local/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.2.11)</div><div class=""><span class="gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1252.50.4)</div><div class=""><span class="gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>/opt/local/lib/libcurl.4.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current version 10.0.0)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">mac56:/home/dallured/ncl/6.5.0 137> /opt/local/bin/h5dump --version</div><div class="">h5dump: Version 1.10.2</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">mac56:/home/dallured/ncl/6.5.0 138> /opt/local/bin/ncdump --version</div><div class=""> <snip></div><div class="">netcdf library version 4.4.1.1 of Jun 8 2018 03:07:16 $</div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 20, 2018 at 6:07 PM, Dave Allured - NOAA Affiliate <span dir="ltr" class=""><<a href="mailto:dave.allured@noaa.gov" target="_blank" class="">dave.allured@noaa.gov</a>></span> wrote:<br class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr" class="">All,<br class=""><br class="">This minimal test fails with the current Macports NCL version.
