Dear Haeli,

I'm afraid that you have a system that we don't support. You are running an old version of RHEL (version 4) and an old version of gcc (3.4.6).

Our Linux binaries were built with various gcc versions (4.1.2, 4.4.4, 4.4.6, etc), and under RHEL 5.x and 6.x.

You will either need to upgrade to a higher LINUX version and gcc/gfortran version, or you can try building from source code. I have to warn you, though, that given your old version of gcc, you may have some problems compiling either NCL, or the 20+ packages that it depends on.

Upgrading is your best choice, or you can try building NCL with as many packages turned off as possible, to make it easier on yourself to build from source code.

Good luck.
