[ncl-install] NCL 5.1.0 / sed problem on IA64 cluster

[David Brown]

Yeah, in this case '+' turns out not to be a good choice of delimiter  
for the sed commands.
You could try changing '-lstdc++'  to '-lstdc\+\+' (just in one of  
the Makefiles that is failing first: to see if it works).
If that doesn't work then you will have to change the sed delimiter  
in the affected commands. I think that sed can use any character for  
the delimiter. Maybe '!' or '^' would be better.

I don't know enough about the intel compilers to answer that. Maybe  
someone else will know.
