[ncl-install] Runtime error with NCL 6.2.1 on OS X 10.6.8 after upgrade

[Chris Waigl]

Hi Mary,

My default gcc is 4.2, but after this happened, I also installed gcc-4.6 so its libraries should be available. This didn't change anything. 

Thanks for your help, and hope you have a good time in Albany!
