[ncl-install] Problem with Building NCL-6.2.0 from Source Code

[Mary Haley]

Dear Jack-Hsu,

The "-ll" is for linking in the lex library, which should be called "libl.a" on your system.

On some systems, this library might be a link to libfl.a, which is the flex library. For example:

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Jun 19  2013 /usr/lib64/libl.a -> libfl.a


My guess is that you need to install lex/flex and/or create a link between libfl.a and libl.a
