    In order to use both NCARG4.4.1 and ncl4.2.0.a032 (There is no ncl
    binary codes available for Fedora core 4). I compiled NCARG4.4.1
    using gcc32, g77 on my box. A short note listed methods and softwares
    used during my try.
    I tested gcc32, g77 and pgf90, pgcc.

    I still can not compile NCARG4.4.1 using gfortran and f95 come from
    Fedora core 4. I installed newest version Fedora-2.6.12-1.1456_FC4.
    Anyone who can do it, please let me know your methods. Thanks.

    Step 1:
    -------
    For using gcc32 and g77, you have to install the following two packages
    using yum.

    (1) yum install compat-gcc-32-g77-3.2.3-47.fc4.i386.rpm
    (2) yum install compat-libf2c-32-3.2.3-47.fc4.i386.rpm

    Step 2:
    -------
    obtain ncarg-4.4.1.src.tar.gz from http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ng4.4/download.html
    save to your $NCAR (sh: export NCAR=xxx ; csh setenv NCAR=xxx)
    gtar zxvf ncarg-4.4.1.src.tar.gz

    Step 3:
    ------
    Install ijpeg6b, szip2.0 and zlib121
    (Note: obtain softwares from http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/release4/obtain.html)
     Three binary packages are:
     a. jpeg6b-linux2.4.tar.gz
     b. szip2.0-linux-gcc3.2.3-enc.tar.gz
     c. zlib121-linux2.4.tar.gz

    cp jpeg6b-linux2.4.tar.gz /tmp
    cp szip2.0-linux-gcc3.2.3-enc.tar.gz /tmp
    cp zlib121-linux2.4.tar.gz /tmp
    cd /tmp
    gtar zxvf jpeg6b-linux2.4.tar.gz
    gtar zxvf szip2.0-linux-gcc3.2.3-enc.tar.gz
    gtar zxvf zlib121-linux2.4.tar.gz
    cp -uR jpeg6b-linux2.4/* /usr/local
    cp -uR szip2.0-linux-gcc3.2.3-enc/* /usr/local
    cp -uR zlib121-linux2.4/* /usr/local

    mkdir /usr/local/hdf
    cp 4.2r1-linux.tar.gz /tmp
    gtar zxvf 4.2r1-linux.tar.gz
    cp -uR 4.2r1-linux/* /usr/local/hdf

    Step 4:
    -------
    Modify two files:
    (1) /usr/local/hdf/include/hdfi.h and
    (2) ./ncarview/src/lib/libncarg_ras/hdf.c

    Then: You need to revise lines(928-931) of file /usr/local/hdf/include/hdfi.h

    The output of "diff" listed as follows:
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    diff /usr/local/hdf/include/hdfi.h.original /usr/local/hdf/include/hdfi.h
    928,931c928,931
    < #include <sys\types.h> /* for unbuffered file I/O */
    < #include <sys\stat.h>
    < #include <io.h>
    < #include <conio.h> /* for debugging getch() calls */

    ---
    > #include <sys/types.h>      /* for unbuffered file I/O */
    > #include <sys/stat.h>
    > #include <sys/io.h>
    > #include <ncurses.h>          /* for debugging getch() calls */
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    

    and change lines 67-68 of file ./ncarview/src/lib/libncarg_ras/hdf.c from

    #include <hdf/hdf.h> #include <hdf/dfgr.h>

    to

    #include <hdf.h> #include <dfgr.h>

    Step 5: ------- Maybe you need to do a very small modification of file "$NCAR/ncarg-4.4.1/config/LINUX", if you will use g77 and gcc32 (just installed at Step 1).

    Fedora core 4 not include g77 and gcc32 (3.x), but rather gfortran and gcc (4.x)

    change line 30 of $NCAR_ROOT/ncarg-4.4.1/config/LINUX from #define CCompiler cc to #define CCompiler gcc32

    if you use pgf90 and pgcc you just "cp LINUX.PGI LINUX", and you do not need to modify "LINUX"

    Step 6: ------

    run "Configure" under $NCAR and answer "yes" when "Configure" asks question: "Building hdf support into raster library?". Next, you need to add /usr/local/hdf/lib and /usr/local/hdf/library to locallibrary and include search path. maybe you need input

    /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/hdf/lib and /usr/X11R6/include /usr/local/hdf/library to search path.

    Step 7: ------- Check if you $NCAR/Makefile includes

    NCSEARCH = -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/hdf/include PYTHONLIBSEARCH = PYTHONINCSEARCH =

    LIB_SEARCH = -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/local/hdf/lib INC_SEARCH = -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/hdf/include

    which indicated that you have already added /usr/local/hdf/lib and /usr/local/hdf/include to search path.

    If not, maybe u can just simply add /usr/local/hdf/lib and /usr/local/hdf/include to search path from file "$NCAR/Makefile"

    Step 8: ------- make Everything >& make-output &

    Step 9: ------- Test if install correctly. ncargex cpex08 idt cpex08.ncgm ctrans -d X11 cpex08.ncgm

    Step 10: download ncl from http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/index.shtml version: ncl-4.2.0.a032.LINUX_RH9d_PC.tar.gz save to $NCAR_ROOT=/usr/local/ncarg cd /usr/local/ncarg gtar zxvf ncl-4.2.0.a032.LINUX_RH9d_PC.tar.gz

    Step 11: Test ncl ng4ex gsun01n and ncl gsun01n.ncl

    //Finished. :)
