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

Fri Dec 29 11:34:11 MST 2017

Hi Mary et al.
I was able to get 6.4.0 installed and working (but note strange error
message at end of email).

I followed what Fernando said
To recapitulate his steps

*# vi /etc/bash.bashrc.localexport PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib64/*
*pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/*
*pkgconfigexport LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/**lib:/usr/local/lib64:/usr/*
*lib64:/lib64export CPATH=/usr/local/include:/usr/*

*include:/usr/include/linux/export NCARG_ROOT=/usr/local/ncargexport
PATH=$NCARG_ROOT/bin:$PATH## source /etc/bash.bashrc.local# ldconfig*

*get /usr/lib64/libgfortran.so.3# wget
https://rpmfind.net/linux/opensuse/update/leap/42.2/oss/x86_64/libgfortran3-6.2.1+r239768-5.5.2.x86_64.rpm

rpm -iv libgfortran3-6.2.1+r239768-5.*

*5.2.x86_64.rpmNCL Version 6.4.0 precompiled binaries (not
OPeNDAP-enabled)at

<https://www.earthsystemgrid.org/dataset/ncl.640.nodap/file.html>get
ncl_ncarg-6.4.0-Debian8.6_*

*64bit_nodap_gnu492.tar.gz# mkdir /usr/local/ncarg# tar xvzf
ncl_ncarg-6.4.0-Debian8.6_**64bit_nodap_gnu492.tar.gz -C /usr/local/ncarg*

*NOTE:  # rpm -iv libgfortran3-6.2.1+r239768-5.*
*5.2.x86_64.rpm*

*did not work on my laptop, but apparently did not affect the installation.*
Then I used Jeremy´s suggestion

*ln -s /usr/lib64/libbz2.so.1.0.6 /usr/lib64/libbz2.so.1.0*
Then my installation was complete and works.
However, I get a strange warning message but doesn´t affect my routines..
