[ncl-install] troubles compiling NCL with PGI and gcc on CentOS

[Mary Haley]

Tiziana,

Since you are using gcc and not pgcc, the "-pgf90libs" option is not going to be recognized. You may need to uncomment
the other CtoFLibraries line that lists the "-l" libraries separately.

Is there a reason you're using gcc and not pgcc?
