[ncl-install] v5.1.1: make fails due to macro substitution.

[Mary Haley]

Hi David,

You can get around the substitution by putting single ticks around  
the '-L/soft/local/hdf-eos/hdf-eos-2.14/hdfeos/lib/linux' in your  
$NCARG/config/LINUX or $NCARG/config/Site.local file, wherever it is.

However, did you see the HDF-EOS build instructions:

   http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/build_from_src.shtml#HDFEOS2

These instructions suggest moving the "libhdfeos.a" file to another  
directory.

I see that you are linking directly to the external libraries in the  
directories that they live in the original source code directory.  
This might cause problems later with finding include files.  It's  
better to install all this external software to one single set of  
directories, like /usr/local/{lib,include,bin} so then you only need  
to have:

   -L/usr/local/lib -I/usr/local/include

on your compile line for all external software packages.
