<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>The documentation for your plotting package says that NCAR Graphics is needed, but not a full NCL installation. For NCAR Graphics only, I recommend building the library from source. Use the most recent release version, 6.6.2. Other pre-built binary versions might work, but they might need you to resolve some other compatibility issues.</div><div><br></div><div>It might work to your advantage to build the NCAR Graphics library with the same compiler version that you are using to compile and link the plotting package. This might avoid some known problems with mismatched runtime library versions.</div><div><br></div><div>The configure script for the NCL/NCAR Graphics library is interactive. Don't try to run this in batch mode without following the interactive prompts. The prompts will lead you through a series of yes/no questions about what features to include.</div><br>For NCAR Graphics only, be sure to answer "n" when it asks if you want to build NCL. This will reduce the number of other external packages needed. If you select this option, then there will be no "ncl" executable, only a set of library files in $NCARG_ROOT/lib, as needed for your plotting package.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Please see the "build from source" page for more details.</div><div dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/build_from_src.shtml">https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/build_from_src.shtml</a><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div>There are also some recent source code patches that have not yet been incorporated. You might need some of these with newer compiler versions. So if you run into build errors, you might look on the NCL/NCARG Github site for clues, especially in some of the recent pull requests.
