[ncl-install] pre-compiled NCL binaries for X86_64 SUSE linux machines?

[Mary Haley]

Erik,

If you don't need OPeNDAP support, then I recommend downloading a non-OPeNDAP enabled binary.

If you need OPeNDAP support, then you will need to install the required libraries that it's complaining about.  Please see:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/linux.shtml#SharedLibraries

for information about how to install the additional libraries needed. You will probably have to get your system administrator to do this.

Since you have gcc 4.5.0, my recommendation is to use the ncl_ncarg-6.0.0.Linux_Debian_x86_64_gcc445.tar.gz binary, but you will need to get the "ldap" library installed on your machine.

Otherwise, I think there's a 4.5.0 binary that doesn't have OPeNDAP support built-in. This one won't require ldap.
