Dear Marielle Stegeman,
The "libncarg_loc.a" library was combined with another NCAR Graphics
library called "libncarg_c.a" several years ago. You can remove the
reference to "libncarg_loc.a" from your scripts, and replace it with
"libncarg_c.a". You will also need to link the libraries "libncarg.a"
and "libncarg_gks.a".
If you use the "ncargf77" and "ncargcc" compilation scripts that we
provide, then this will take care of loading the necessary libraries
for you, and in the correct order. You can use these scripts much
like you use "f77" and "cc":
ncargf77 -o program program.f
ncargcc -o particle particle.c
There are man pages for "ncargf77" and "ncargcc". You can also go to
the section "Five quick steps for creating and viewing your plot" in
the NCAR Graphics Fundamentals for information on compiling your
programs:
