[ncl-install] ncl - libbz2 shared libraries

[Mary Haley]

Hi Brandon,

I'm not sure if the issue is with a poorly-linked libbz file, or if you have a version of bz2 that is incompatible with what NCL was compiled with.

You didn't quite set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH correctly, as you don't want to include the actual file name in the list.

Try:

    setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $HOME:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

Note that it is generally not recommended to fix shared library issues in this fashion. The true fix is to try to figure out why your system bz2 is not compatible with the one NCL is built with.

Which NCL binary did you download, and what does the following report:

ldd $NCARG_ROOT/bin/ncl
locate libbz2

--Mary
