    I am having trouble installing both ncl and ncarg onto my Mac OS X. I'm
    using fink to download the programs and install them, but the second
    installation (either ncl or ncarg) doesn't install correctly.

    For example, I installed ncarg successfully using fink ('fink install
    ncarg') and was able to run the example program. Then I tried to install
    ncl ('fink install ncl') and received the following error messages:

    fink install ncl
    sudo /sw/bin/fink install ncl
    Information about 1277 packages read in 1 seconds.

    The following package will be installed or updated:
     ncl
    dpkg -i
    /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/sci/ncl_4.2.0.a028-1_darwin-powerpc.deb
    Selecting previously deselected package ncl.
    (Reading database ... 5355 files and directories currently installed.)
    Unpacking ncl (from .../ncl_4.2.0.a028-1_darwin-powerpc.deb) ...
    dpkg: error processing
    /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/sci/ncl_4.2.0.a028-1_darwin-powerpc.deb
    (--install):
     trying to overwrite `/sw/lib/ncarg/ngwww/ngurl', which is also in
    package ncarg
    Errors were encountered while processing:
     /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/sci/ncl_4.2.0.a028-1_darwin-powerpc.deb
    ### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1
    Failed: can't install package ncl-4.2.0.a028-1

    Has anyone had this problem? is there a solution?

    thank you,

    Susan Marshall
