Macports users,
Macports just updated their ncarg/NCL port to the latest release, 6.5.0.
The previous problem with setfileoption seems to be fixed.
They never found the exact problem in 6.4.0. However, an HDF5 library
problem was suspected. Therefore I suggest upgrading if you like the
Macports install, and you use setfileoption, netcdf-4, or HDF5 file access.
Thanks to Kevin for the Conda recommendation.
