[ncl-talk] Failure with current Macports version of NCL 6.4.0

[Dave Allured - NOAA Affiliate]

All,

This minimal test fails with the current Macports NCL version.  It seems to
work fine with a local NCL 6.4.0 built from source, or with 6.4.0 on our
Linux system.  We suspect a Macports build problem or library problem.

This should just print "99" if it is working correctly.  This fails for all
four possible setfileoption format values.

procedure test3 ()
begin
  setfileoption ("nc", "Format", "Classic")
  x = 99
  print (x+"")
end

begin
  test3 ()
end

mac56:/home/dallured/ncl 106> /opt/local/bin/ncl test3.ncl
 NCAR Command Language Version 6.4.0
