[ncl-install] troubleshoot NCL / NCAR graphics installation (Mac 10.11.6)

[Kwesi Quagraine]

Hello Justin, I encountered this problem and this is how I solved it. So
the problem is your system can not locate libgomp.1.dylib. Here's how to go
about it; In your terminal type the following
[1] locate libgomp.1.dylib

This will bring up all the locations of libgomp.1.dylib on your mac

[2] cd /usr/local/lib

go into the usr/local/ lib folder

[3] ln -s /location/of/the/missing/lib/libdf.0.dylib .

Soft link to the /usr/local/lib (remember the dot at the end of code in [3])

This should work. Cheers!!
