[ncl-install] Fedora 10

[Bjorge Solli]

Thanks for your suggestions,

I untarred ncl_ncarg-5.1.0.Linux_i686_opendap_gcc412.tar.gz in
/usr/local/ncarg

# ls -l /usr/local/ncarg/
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-03-04 05:54 bin
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-03-02 17:28 include
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-03-04 05:49 lib

# which ncl
/usr/local/ncarg/bin/ncl

Here are some more info:
# rpm -qa | grep compat-libgfortran
compat-libgfortran-41-4.1.2-36.i386

# env | egrep '(LD_LIBRARY_PATH|DISPLAY|NCARG_ROOT)'
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/ncarg/lib
NCARG_ROOT=/usr/local/ncarg
DISPLAY=localhost:10.0

A window seems to appear just before it crashes. This is from a remote
ssh -X session, but the same errors appear when it's run directly on the
machine under gnome.

# uname -a

# gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.3.0

I get the following errors:

This script works on other systems with the latest ncl, so there is
nothing wrong with the script itself.

I find it strange that it tries to find the files in /usr/lib/ncarg/ncarg/*

When it comes to the rpm-installed ncl in /usr/bin/ it produces the same
errors.
