[ncl-talk] Can't work with reassign command ':=', and '::' call fortran command

[Alan Brammer]

I don’t think the operator is the problem.

Always start from the first error.

Did you rerun WRAPIT with the new NCL install.  If you changed your gcc installation you might need to recompile the shared object.  

This would be best in a new email specifically about the loading of the shared object in your script.   The :: operator is not the problem though it’s the initial external command that is failing.
