[ncl-install] solved/ problems with installing NCL on Ubuntu 11.10 x86-64 architecture

[Sam McClatchie]

I missed part of the instructions for installation (see below) because 
they read as if they are only required if you are installing from source 
rather than from a binary:
--------------------------------


    Installing other software for Linux systems

  * *X11 libraries*

    - you need an X11 server in order to run ncl and display output to
    an X11 library, and you need the X11 development libraries in order
    to build NCL from source code.

    Getting the development libraries on your system depends on what
    kind of Linux system you have. Try one of the commands below to see
    which one works on your system.

        sudo apt-get install x11-dev
        sudo apt-get install xorg-dev
        sudo apt-get install libx11-dev

-------------------------------

Once I installed these packages, ncl loaded fine.

Apologies

Sam.
