[ncl-install] ymake-filter in installing NCL/NCARG

[William Clodius,,,]

I have an old Fortran application (early 90s) written by someone else  
that requires NCAR graphics. The application was written using  
extensions to Fortran 77 that were incorporated into Fortran 90, but  
are not extensions incorporated into g77 so I need to use a Fortran  
90/95 compiler. The most commonly available Linux systems have not  
been upgraded to gcc 4.x, so gfortran is not available, but they do  
have PGF Fortran 90/95, and perhaps Absoft Fortran 90/95. An attempt  
to use the binaries suggested that they relied on gcc, and the gcc  
3.x binaries required g77. Was my interpretation correct?

I am now attempting to use the NCL-NCARG 5.0 source code to install  
on the systems. However I quickly ran into a problem. I think I have  
the environmental variables set properly, but when I enter
./ymake
on the command line in the config directory I get the error  
message ..."/ymake-filter: Command not found." This response does not  
seem to be addressed in the documentation. There is a ymake-filter.c  
in the directory, that I suppose should be compiled, but it isn't  
discussed in the installation direction. I am reluctant to make using  
yMakefile, as that is not mentioned in the documentation, and I am  
not a UNIX guru.
