[ncl-install] [ncl-talk] ESMF Regrid

Dear Amit,

I no longer have access to an AIX system, as ours was decommissioned on January 31.  

In the past, I have been unable to build cairo under AIX, and as of NCL V6.1.0, cairo is now a required
component for NCL. The compilation problems were due to using the xlf90/xlc compilers,
and I never got the chance to try GNU compilers.

You can try building NCL 6.1.0 (or 6.1.1) from source code to see if you have better luck
with building cairo. There were no problems building NCL itself using the xlxxx compilers.

You might also check if you already have "libcairo.so" on your system somewhere, and
link against that, instead of building it from source code.

The instructions for building NCL from source code can be found at:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/build_from_src.shtml

The non-optional software that you have to build before you build NCL is listed at:
