[ncl-install] Ncl Mac Troubleshooting

[Alyssa]

Hi Mary,

I have seen the solution you posted below- this is the reason I updated my version of GCC to 4.9.3 (according to the filename of the NCL tar file, it was built with 4.9.2). As per the instructions in the link you sent, I have updated my gcc/gfortran compiler, confirmed that the new compiler is in “opt/local/lib/gcc49”, and set the environment variable DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH in .profile.

These steps have not seemed to resolve the problem. Do you have any thoughts on what else the issue might be?

Kind regards,
Alyssa

When I type "ncl -V”, the output is “6.3.0”. But when I type "ng4ex xy01n -clean”, I receive the following error message:

I am currently at a stopping point, as the comment “wget ftp.ucar.edu <http://ftp.ucar.edu/>:” was not feasible. Also, I am at a stopping point, trying to use the comment “/usr/local/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib”. Where should I go from here? Attached are the websites I am using as a guide.
