[ncl-install] Problems build ncl 6.4.0 on Archlinux

[Kevin Hallock]

Xavier,

Thanks for the tips!

I had to make two modifications, but I was eventually able to build ncl.

First, g2clib had a typo in its PKGBUILD, so neither jasper nor libpng were installed. I wrote a comment on the g2clib AUR page, so hopefully the maintainer will fix this soon. I also added szip as a dependency in the ncl PKGBUILD.

Then…
[root at chroot /]# ncl

Thanks again for maintaining the ncl package!

Kevin
