[ncl-install] Problems with building NCL using the Intel compiler suite

[Mary Haley]

Hi Dave,

Sorry you are having problems with this.

The "warning" statements that you listed below can be safely ignored. It's the "error" statements you need to be concerned with.

It looks like there may be an issue with us using a variable called "compound" when you try to build with the "icc" compiler.

I'll see if we can provide you with some patches to get around this problem.  I've never run into this myself.

--Mary
