[ncl-install] NCL Source Install Document Misprint?

[Huber, David]

Hi Mary,

Thanks for the confirmation.  I did get HDF-EOS 5 to install, but it required a little extra effort.  I ran the script you suggested, bin/INSTALL_HDFEOS, and input the information about the location of various libraries and include directories, but once it started building I received the following:

    HDFEOS5 installation ending at Tue May 25 12:52:24 CDT 2010

What I ended up doing was manually setting each of the variables, HDFINC etc, to the respective locations.  After that, it worked.

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

Sorry for the confusion. This should read "HDF-EOS 5" and not "GDAL". I'll fix this shortly.

Meanwhile, were you able to get HDF-EOS 5 built? Sometimes if I have problems with the below method,
I try using the "bin/INSTALL_HDFEOS" method. 

You run this script:

    bin/INSTALL_HDFEOS

and answer some questions about where your HDF5 and SZIP libraries and include files reside.
>From there it will try to do the build based on your environment settings (if any) for CFLAGS, CC, CPPFLAGS, etc.
