[ncl-install] ncl 6.0 on SUSE x64 "floating exception"

Thu Mar 24 00:33:47 MDT 2011

Dear Mary,

As you might remember from 5.2.1, we have exactly the same problem as Jakob on our Cray XT4 of MeteoSwiss. (This seems to be a weather service problem... :-) ). I've pulled the binary and I get...

> ./ncl.debian.432 -V
./ncl.debian.432: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by ./ncl.debian.432)

The RedHat also gives a "floating exception". As for Jakob, we are running on a remote system and pulling up the OS or gcc version is not such a simple task.

Cheers,
Oli
