[ncl-install] NCL - Installation problem - Libraries

[Kevin Hallock]

Hi Michel,

I just tested the “ncl_ncarg-6.5.0-Debian8.11_64bit_nodap_gnu492.tar.gz” binary on a Linux Mint 17.2 virtual machine and got the same libiconv.so.2 error that you saw, and I couldn’t find an appropriate iconv package to install.

However, I also tried downloading the “ncl_ncarg-6.5.0-Debian7.11_64bit_nodap_gnu472.tar.gz” build, and it seems to be working properly.

I hope this helps,
Kevin
