Install glitch on Mac OS X

I am attempting to install NCARG on a Mac OS X (10.3.3)
system, after pulling over the binaries for the GNU g77
version.

Uncompressing and de-tarring the ncarg-4.3.0.DARWIN_GNU_MAC
file seemed to go fine. I then started up INSTALL and proceeded
to answer the 5 questions as recommended on the "How to
download, install, and use pre-compiled NCAR graphics binaries
on your system" page. No.s 1-3 worked fine. For no. 4 I gave the
recommended answer of option #1, then for no. 5 option 3.
But, the install package just cycles me back to question no. 4 at
that stage beginning an apparently infinite loop.
(No. 4 question answered with '1' indicates distribution medium of
a tar file, no. 5 with '3' indicates installation type of same.)

Has anyone seen similar, or have something to recommend?

I've been using NCARG on a Sun for nearly 15 yrs, but this is my
first attempt at installing. I would guess I've done something dumb,
but not apparent what.

Thanks, Ron Gilliland
