    Hello,

    I guess you have solved the problem long time ago, so this is more for
    reference for others... I had the very same problem with NCAR compiled by
    Intel Compiler on IA32. The problem was caused by idt being unable to find
    ictrans. Idt does not look for ictrans on system PATH, but it requires it
    to be in the same directory as idt itself. So moving/copying ictrans (and
    all NCL distribution files) in the same tree as NCAR helped for
    me.

    Actually, the files installed by NCAR from sources and the files in
    binary distribution of NCL do overlap... I chose not to overwrite NCAR
    files, hopefully, it will be ok...

    Regards,

    Tomas
