Thomas,

I think you found an out-dated link that contained a special binary we created for somebody.

We recommend these download instructions:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.ncl.ucar.edu_Download_&d=CwMFaQ&c=y2w-uYmhgFWijp_IQN0DhA&r=siVJEOn37c-oI9VReO09ng&m=NgOGVstSUcwAf_WSfuvW8UF7b7TrdWtXLYvVAN8F0W0&s=yBuixr_oN4N4A3c26qbuxSQzNMaS0D7ARoKQ7lEuEpE&e=>
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/install.shtml<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.ncl.ucar.edu_Download_install.shtml&d=CwMFaQ&c=y2w-uYmhgFWijp_IQN0DhA&r=siVJEOn37c-oI9VReO09ng&m=NgOGVstSUcwAf_WSfuvW8UF7b7TrdWtXLYvVAN8F0W0&s=d-LTdbOgiVKIhxwg3J3fUyYm0Y1q30V5Gdpt67hg49w&e=>

[1] The first step is to "download the appropriate binary" for your system.
I suggest downloading one of our precompiled binaries for MacOS:

OPeNDAP-enabled:
https://www.earthsystemgrid.org/dataset/ncl.630.0.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.earthsystemgrid.org_dataset_ncl.630.0.html&d=CwMFaQ&c=y2w-uYmhgFWijp_IQN0DhA&r=siVJEOn37c-oI9VReO09ng&m=NgOGVstSUcwAf_WSfuvW8UF7b7TrdWtXLYvVAN8F0W0&s=8AxE8x8SrLUUTzIuukKLGM-CPlLQVSuB0Y5RQajl31g&e=>

Non OPeNDAP-enabled:
https://www.earthsystemgrid.org/dataset/ncl.630.1.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.earthsystemgrid.org_dataset_ncl.630.1.html&d=CwMFaQ&c=y2w-uYmhgFWijp_IQN0DhA&r=siVJEOn37c-oI9VReO09ng&m=NgOGVstSUcwAf_WSfuvW8UF7b7TrdWtXLYvVAN8F0W0&s=59s_Kfya4Fn8D3WZMjWfaO_ShQQDIkaAZZ0wKVZHLW0&e=>

With either link, click on the "Download Options" link and select the binary that has "MacOS_10.10" in the name, which should be compatible for your 10.11 system.

[2] The second step is to decide where you want NCL V6.3.0 to reside on your system, and then extract the gzipped tar files from this location.

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/install.shtml#ExtractFile<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.ncl.ucar.edu_Download_install.shtml-23ExtractFile&d=CwMFaQ&c=y2w-uYmhgFWijp_IQN0DhA&r=siVJEOn37c-oI9VReO09ng&m=NgOGVstSUcwAf_WSfuvW8UF7b7TrdWtXLYvVAN8F0W0&s=dtq2xRBkOnwaNgypWO4Pq1Pj_PQaD-nBf5DWhDRy9Sk&e=>

[3] The third step is to set/update the NCARG_ROOT and PATH environment variables:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/install.shtml#SetNCARG_ROOT<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.ncl.ucar.edu_Download_install.shtml-23SetNCARG-5FROOT&d=CwMFaQ&c=y2w-uYmhgFWijp_IQN0DhA&r=siVJEOn37c-oI9VReO09ng&m=NgOGVstSUcwAf_WSfuvW8UF7b7TrdWtXLYvVAN8F0W0&s=09HGkOAQrZ4pgTHJuBAVgqTs05wGQJLrSExhG2TFn5A&e=>

[4] The final step is to test your NCL installation. You can type these commands:

    ncl -V

and

  ng4ex xy01n -clean

Hello all,

I am working on installing ncl for mac, but have run into compatibility errors for OS X 10.11. I am currently at a stopping point, as the comment "wget 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.
