[ncl-install] Segmentation fault when compiling NCL from source on Amazon Linux 2 (ARM64)

 Dear Michael,It might not be your answer directly, however, did you try conda method, including the following commands, for install NCL instead of compiling method:
$ conda update -n root --all$ conda install -c conda-forge ncl

 Dear all, 

Thanks for adding me to the NCL mailing list.

I am trying to compile the latest NCL Version 6.6.2 from scratch on Amazon
Linux 2 (ARM64 architecture). Everything works fine except that a
segmentation fault occurs when the fontcaps are compiled respectively when
the fontc binary is processing fontcaps (see output below). No other error
occurs. The ncl binary is compiled and it can be started without problems,
but when I run a plotting script a segmentation fault occurs that is
probably related to the compilation error in fontcap. 

I also compiled a minimal version with as few dependencies as possible (no
GDAL, HDF5, NETCDF-4 and so on) to rule out that they cause the problem
without any effect. I have also randomly tried different compiler options
for the compilation in the folder fontcap, but the error always remains the
same. I suspect that the compiler is causing the problem, but there is no
alternative on Amazon Linux 2 so far. I'm using gfortran (version 7.3.1) and
gcc (version 7.3.1), but here only Fortran77 code seems to be compiled. 

It would be great if somebody has a hint how to overcome this problem. Maybe
there is another option, so that I don't have to build it from scratch. The
installation with conda does not work on ARM64. 

Best, Michael
