    Hi Sam,

    I think this is just because "ncargex" is using "ncargf90" as its
    default script to use for compiling a program. There should be an
    "ncargf77" script you can use, that invokes f77 instead. See below.

    I think you might just be missing a system library here. Perhaps you
    need to load an additional Absoft library? I don't remember what
    version of Absoft NCAR Graphics was built with, but chances are you
    have a newer version. This sometimes this causes a slight
    incompatibility, which you may be seeing here. I think if you pull in
    the necessary system libraries, you might be okay.

    "ncargex" doesn't access a Makefile. It calls "ncargf90" (or
    "ncargf77") which is just a C-shell script for compiling NCAR Graphics
    programs.

    Take a look at $NCARG_ROOT/bin/ncargf90 and/or
    $NCARG_ROOT/bin/ncargf77. One of these scripts are the ones being
    used to compile your program. You can edit them and add/remove
    compiler options, libraries, etc as necessary.

    Please see the above about system libraries.

    I believe once you get the ncargf77 and/or ncargf90 scripts tuned for
    your system, then users will be able to use these scripts to compile
    their NCAR Graphics programs. For example:

         ncargf77 cpex08.f cpexcc.f -o cpex08

    Hope this helps you get started.
