[ncl-install] Problems with NCARG

Wed Apr 8 19:38:06 MDT 2009

Hi Mary,

With this file the MM5's TERRAIN program works perfectly, compiling it with
intel compiler.

Mary, if I compile only NCARG and installing it in the same directory where
NCL/NCARG pre-compiled files were installed, NCL functioning will be
prejudiced?

I ask it because when I compile NCARG only (I made it with intel compiler)
and link a compilation line to this new NCARG (put into a different
directory), I haven't any error messages.

Best regards,

Mateus
