NCAR Graphics running into integer workspace array limitation?

Hi,

We ran a big MM5 simulation, and are now using the RIP program to create
animations. When we run the 'rip' program on our output files, we see the
following errors:

A Google search indicated that this might be because of the small size of
the integer workspace array used by NCAR Graphics. I see many references to
the variable "IWRK" in "../ncarg2d/src/libncarg/conpack" and other
directories under 'libncarg'. Is this the variable that we need to modify to
increase the value of the user integer workspace array? If yes, how do we do
it?

We're using NCL-NCAR Graphics version 5.1.0 on CentOS Linux 5.0 on a 64-bit
Opteron machine. We're not using pre-built binaries, we compiled the
binaries from the source.

Thanks,
Saurabh
