[ncl-install] ncl 6.4.0 32bit

[Kevin Hallock]

Hi Flavian,

Unfortunately, we currently do not have a 32bit Linux build of NCL available via conda.

However, we do have a precompiled test build of NCL 6.4.0-beta for 32bit Linux: http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/files/ncl_ncarg-6.4.0-beta.Linux_Debian7_11_i686_gcc472.tar.gz <http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/files/ncl_ncarg-6.4.0-beta.Linux_Debian7_11_i686_gcc472.tar.gz>

To get the file:

    wget http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/files/ncl_ncarg-6.4.0-beta.Linux_Debian7_11_i686_gcc472.tar.gz <http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/files/ncl_ncarg-6.4.0-beta.Linux_Debian7_11_i686_gcc472.tar.gz>
    
Once you have the file, you need to uncompress and untar it wherever you want the software to reside. For example, if you want the software in /usr/local/ncl-6.4.0-beta, then move the file to /usr/local/ncl-6.4.0-beta and type the following:

   mkdir /usr/local/ncl-6.4.0-beta
   cd /usr/local/ncl-6.4.0-beta
   tar -zxvf /path/to/file/ncl_ncarg-6.4.0-beta.Linux_Debian7_11_i686_gcc472.tar.gz

where "/path/to/file" needs to be replaced by whatever the path is to that file.

You can then remove the file or save it somewhere.

You also need to setenv NCARG_ROOT to the parent directory and make sure $NCARG_ROOT/bin is on your search path:

  csh/tcsh:

  setenv NCARG_ROOT /usr/local/ncl-6.4.0-beta
  setenv PATH $NCARG_ROOT/bin:$PATH

  bash/sh/ksh:

  export NCARG_ROOT=/usr/local/ncl-6.4.0-beta
  export PATH=$NCARG_ROOT/bin:$PATH

To quickly test that you are using the new NCL, type:

 ncl -V

It should say "6.4.0-26Aug2016_1228”.

If you experience any issues running this build, please feel free to email me directly (not using ncl-install at ucar.edu <mailto:ncl-install at ucar.edu>) to further diagnose the problem.
