[ncl-install] failed to compile ncl

About the second problem--if it is happening while compiling wrapit,
see the description and solution below:

=============================
The error can be reproduced by extracting the source tarball again,
configuring, and running make. Here is the relevant output from make:

/ncl_ncarg-5.0.0/ni/src/mkwrap> make
yacc -d wrapit.y
gcc -ansi -fPIC  -O  -I../../.././include -I/usr/X11R6/include
-I/opt/hdf4/include -I/opt/netcdf-3.6.2/gnu/include   -DLinux
-DMAJOR=2 -DSYSV -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -DByteSwapped
-DNeedFuncProto    -c -o y.tab.o y.tab.c
flex wrapit.l
gcc -ansi -fPIC  -O  -I../../.././include -I/usr/X11R6/include
-I/opt/hdf4/include -I/opt/netcdf-3.6.2/gnu/include   -DLinux
-DMAJOR=2 -DSYSV -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -DByteSwapped
-DNeedFuncProto    -c -o lex.yy.o lex.yy.c
gcc -ansi -fPIC  -O  -I../../.././include -I/usr/X11R6/include

-DMAJOR=2 -DSYSV -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -DByteSwapped
-DNeedFuncProto    -c -o Symbol.o Symbol.c
yacc  wrapit.y
mv -f y.tab.c wrapit.c
gcc -ansi -fPIC  -O  -I../../.././include -I/usr/X11R6/include
-I/opt/hdf4/include -I/opt/netcdf-3.6.2/gnu/include   -DLinux
-DMAJOR=2 -DSYSV -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -DByteSwapped
-DNeedFuncProto    -c -o wrapit.o wrapit.c
gcc -ansi -fPIC  -O    -o wrapit77 y.tab.o lex.yy.o Symbol.o wrapit.o
-L/home/apetkov/ncl/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -L/opt/netcdf-3.6.2/gnu/lib
-L/opt/hdf4/lib  -lfl


Here wrapit.c gets overwritten. This is because it has the same name
as wrapit.y, and a timestamp older than wrapit.y:

ncl_ncarg-5.0.0/ni/src/mkwrap> ls -alh

An implicit rule of the make command (I used version 3.80) overwrites
the .c file due to name collusion and the fact that wrapit.c is older
than wrapit.y. This is the relevant output from running 'make -p':


# Not a target:
wrapit.c: wrapit.y
#  Implicit rule search has been done.
#  Implicit/static pattern stem: `wrapit'
#  Last modified 2008-01-04 15:31:51.450224256

       mv -f y.tab.c $@


So, the solution is to execute "touch wrapit.c " prior to running
make, so the timestamp of this file gets updated.
