[ncl-install] [help] I have trouble to build NCL 5.0.0

[Mary Haley]

There's one more thing I forgot to mention (and I need to include this
in our "troubleshooting" guide):

You need to edit the two files:

    $NCARG/ni/src/ncl/NclHDF.c
    $NCARG/ni/src/ncl/NclHDFEOS.c

and remove the line:

#include <hdf/netcdf.h>
