[ncl-install] NCL Installation Problem

[Mary Haley]

Dear Dr. Chandniha,

First, did you read the "Linux" installation notes for NCL:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/linux.shtml

We do not have specific binaries for Ubuntu, but you should be able to use
a Debian binary.

To pick the correct binary, you need two pieces of information:


   1. You need to download a 32-bit binary if your "uname -a" reports
   "i686" or "i386", and a 64-bit binary if "uname -a" reports "x86_64".

   2. Download a binary that was compiled with close to the same version of
   "gcc" that you have on your system (gcc --version). For example, if you
   have gcc 4.4.7, then a binary compiled with 4.4.5, 4.4.8, etc, would be
   okay.  You don't want to download a binary that has a much higher version
   of "gcc".  For example, if you have gcc 4.4.7, then you don't want to
   download a binary that was built with gcc 4.7.2.


The "ncl_ncarg-6.2.1.Lunux_Debian6.0_x86_64_nodap_gcc445.tar.gz" binary
should work on your system if the gcc version is close to 4.4.5, and you
have a 64-bit system.

For further information on installing NCL from this binary, see:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/install.shtml

It's basically a 3-step process:


   1. Run "tar -zxf ncl_ncarg-6.2.1.Lunux_Debian6.0_x86_64_nodap_gcc445.tar.gz"
   in the parent directory where you want NCL installed.
   2. Set the environment variable NCARG_ROOT to this parent directory
   3. Add $NCARG_ROOT/bin to your search path.

Steps 2 and 3 can be done in one of your home '.*' files, like
".bash_profile" or ".cshrc". The above URL explains all of this.
