[ncl-install] NCL 6.4.0 at openSUSE Tumbleweed [solution]

[Mary Haley]

Dave,

Our conda expert is out of the office and won't be able to respond right
away.

We've had numerous issues with conda-forge, because they've upgraded some
of their software libraries, which are incompatible with the software
libraries that NCL V6.4.0 depends on.

Meanwhile, if you are anxious to get NCL installed, you can download a
non-conda version, which won't have these issues.

You can go to this page to download the appropriate binary for your system:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/index.shtml#Download

For convenience, here's the direct to the OPeNDAP-enabled binaries:

https://www.earthsystemgrid.org/dataset/ncl.640.dap/file.html

and the non OPeNDAP ones:

https://www.earthsystemgrid.org/dataset/ncl.640.nodap/file.html

Once you get the appropriate binary for your system, this page tells you
how to extract and install this binary. It's pretty straight-forward: you
run the "tar -zxf" command, and then set NCARG_ROOT and PATH:

Good luck,

--Mary
