[ncl-install] ncargex cpex08 -clean post-install test fails

[Mary Haley]

Al,

This sounds like an issue with the way your libraries are either installed,
or maybe the directory path is not quite right.

Use the "locate" command to search for the required libraries, for example:

   locate libXext
   locate libbz2

etc.

Also visit this link and read about how to install some of these external
packages.
