    There's another issue that could be causing the behavior you are seeing;
    to quote from a recent posting that addresses this:

       There used to be something weird about the way the NCARG config
       system worked if you had "ncarg" as one of the subdirectories that
       the NCAR Graphics source code is under. For example:

           /usr/local/ncarg/src/ncarg-4.4.1

       Do you have this kind of situation? If so, then the config procedure
       may be thinking that your top level NCARG source tree is
       /usr/local/ncarg, and not /usr/local/ncarg/src/ncarg-4.4.1 like it
       should be. This would cause it not to find the "config/ymkmf" file.

    Can you try changing the top-level directory name to not have 'ncarg' in
    that name twice?

    -Rick.
