[ncl-install] Some corrections to NCL installation troubleshooting

[Mary Haley]

Hi Jan,

Thanks for pointing out these inaccuracies. The HDF one has me a
little puzzled, because in our current versions of NclHDF.c and
NclHDFEOS.c, we are not including netcdf.h in any fashion.  I imagine
there are some changes needed, like to another *.h file.  I'll try to
track this down.

As for the "wrapit.c" problem: when you copied it to
$NCARG/ni/src/mkwrap, did it have an older date than the other files
in that directory? I think that might have caused it not to rebuild
correctly. Still, it's a good idea for us to add to those instructions
that a "make clean" should be done first.
