[ncl-install] NCL version for unix

[Mary Haley]

Hi Jay,

In the future, please use the ncl-install email list for questions like these. I see you subscribed, but maybe your subscription hadn't been approved yet?

We do not have binaries for an SGI, unfortunately, but you might be able to build NCL from source code. There was a point where you could build NCL on SGIs, back when these systems were more in use, and we have a configuration file for SGI that you might be able to use.

The install from source instructions are at:

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

The configuration file you can try is: $NCARG/config/SGI_IRIX 

Viewing the images via putty shouldn't be an issue.

I think this is doable but what version should I download?  I registered with earthsystemgrid.org and mailman.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/ncl-install.
