[ncl-install] "make includes" in ni/src/ncl/ failed due to NclNewGroup.h

[Mary Haley]

AC,

First, is there a reason you need to build from source code? We highly recommend people download one of our precompiled binaries, since the source code is difficult to build.

Something doesn't quite compute here, because "NclNewGroup.h" shouldn't be referenced in the NCL 6.1.2 source code. It almost seems like you have an old Makefile left over from an older build of NCL.

I believe NCL Version 6.1.0 was the last version that referenced this file.


Is it possible that somehow the 6.1.2 source code and the old Makefiles are getting mixed?  One possibility is that you have both "makefile" and "Makefile" in your directory?
