[ncl-install] floating exception with ncl 5.2.1

[Johnny Chang]

Hi,

I downloaded ncl_ncarg-5.2.1.Linux_x86_64_nodap_gcc412.tar.gz on a Xeon node
running:

%uname -a
Linux pfe6 2.6.16.60-0.42.5.03schamp-nasa #1 SMP Tue Nov 10 20:46:20 UTC 2009
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and after untarring the file and running ncl, I get:

%./ncl
Floating exception (core dumped)

Looking for a stack trace, I get:

Any ideas on how to fix this or do I need to build from source?

Thanks for any help on this,

Johnny
