[ncl-install] [Fwd: Install issue for CygWIN.]

[Mary Haley]

Andrey,

It shouldn't matter if NCL has all these extra packages built in.   
You don't need to have GRIB2, NetCDF, HDF4, etc. on your system in  
order to run a version of NCL that has all these capabilities built-in.

The only time it's an issue is if you have an OPeNDAP-enabled version  
of NCL. This version of NCL has OPeNDAP shared library dependencies,  
and you thus need to install OPeNDAP shared libraries in order to use  
this version of NCL. This doesn't matter for the Cygwin precompiled  
NCL binary, however, because we don't have an OPeNDAP version for  
that system.
