[ncl-install] Problems installing NCL

[Mary Haley]

Hi Sarah-Jane,

It looks like you might not have write permissions in /usr/local,  
although I'm surprised it doesn't say this specifically.

Can you install this somewhere in your home directory? The  
instructions are still the same, you just need to change the  
directory name.
