Installing NCAR graphics on MacPro with OS 10.6.2 with 64 bits

Hello,

   I'm trying to install the latest NCAR graphics (5.1.1) on a new Intel MacPro running MacOSX 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard). I'm also using the latest gfortran and gcc. I downloaded the source from www.ncl.ucar.edu and followed the install instructions. All apparently made well (no obvious errors in the "make-install" file) but when I tried to test the code with "ncargex cpex08" it immediately returns with a segmentation fault:

NCAR Graphics Fortran Example <cpex08>

  Copying cpex08.f

  Copying cpexcc.f

Compiling and linking...
gfortran -fPIC -fno-range-check -O -o cpex08 cpexcc.f cpex08.f -L/usr/local/ncarg/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/sw/lib -lncarg -lncarg_gks -lncarg_c -lXpm -lX11 -lXext

Executing <cpex08>...
Segmentation fault

I can get it to make and run just fine by making NCAR graphics under 32 bits by replacing the following lines in $NCARG/config/Darwin_Intel:

#define CCompiler gcc
#define FCompiler gfortran

with

#define CCompiler gcc -m32
#define FCompiler gfortran -m32

However, I now need to keep duplicate copies of all my home-grown libraries, one for 64 bits and one for applications that use NCAR graphics (32 bits). Although that's doable, its a pain to keep all the Makefiles straight.

Has anyone managed to install and use NCAR graphics made with 64 bits under Mac Snow Leopard? Or have I missed something in my attempt to install ncarg?

Thanks for any help,

Dave
