Mark,
I honestly have no clue about this one. When you start running out of
memory during the compilation phase, this seems like more of a
compiler problem.
Can you try doing:
cd $NCARG/ni/src/mkwrap
make clean
make all install
and see what happens?
This program is used by the WRAPIT script. The WRAPIT script enables
you to wrap Fortran code and call it from NCL.
If you don't need this capability, then you can skip this part
of the build, and it won't hurt anything.
