[Wrf-users] plotgrids and plotfmt

[Dmitry N. Mikushin]

No lncarg prefix, right, because in Linux linker "-lncarg" means "link
against libncarg.a or libncarg.so library", i.e. "-l" gets replaced by
"lib".

Yes, either first or second triple of the files you've found should
fit, depending on the compiler-compatibility. Try to add
-L/usr/local/ncarg/6.1.2/lib or -L/usr/local/ncl_ncarg-6.0.0/intel/lib
to the failing link commands, e.g.:

gfortran -o plotgrids.exe -g module_map_utils.o module_debug.o cio.o
constants_module.o misc_definitions_module.o plotgrids.o
-L/usr/local/ncarg/6.1.2/lib -L/lib -lncarg -lncarg_gks -lncarg_c
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11

For more robustness, there should be an upper-level setting somewhere
in the WPS' makefile/configure to specify such additional library
search paths.
