    Dear Raj,

    You probably already have the f2c library installed on your
    system. You just need to find it and then modify the compilation
    script to point to the correct path.

    Try looking somewhere under /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux. It
    should be in a directory "egcs-x.yy.zz" where "x.yy.zz" is a version
    number.

    Once you find it, modify the file $NCARG_ROOT/bin/nhlf77 and change
    the following path:

       -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.90.27

    to the one that contains "libf2c.a" on your system. You might need to
    modify $NCARG_ROOT/bin/{nhlcc,ncargf77,ncargcc} and make similar
    changes.
