Re: NCARG-4.4.1 install errors

Hi Saurabh,

NCAR Graphics is known to compile on FC systems; I regularly build it
there, albeit with GCC compilers only. NCAR Graphics
does also compile under various systems with the PGI compilers.

In case you have not seen the build instructions before, they are
at: http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ng4.4/installsrc.html#BuildNCARGFromSource

All of this looks just fine.

This file is generated by running the "Configure" script in the top-
level $NCARGSRC source directory. Did you run this script?

As well, before doing so, you need to make sure there is a correct
"directives" script in $NCARGSRC/config. In your case, as
you're mixing GCC and PGI compilers, you'll want to take snippets
from the LINUX.GNU and LINUX.PGI compilers.

It will be important to have CPPFLAGS=-DpgiFortran set, as that's the
only way to ensure C <--> Fortran will work well together.

These messages indicate that there's no top-level Makefile being
created properly; the first thing to happen is
for makefiles to be created, and the 'external' directory is one
place that happens, for example.

This tends to indicate that there is a problem either with
configuration (not following the "Configure" script process) or
that your GCC installation is incorrect.

There are no source RPMs that I am aware of; rather there is the NCAR
Graphics download site: http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ng4.4/
installsrc.html#GetSourceCode

In this combination, no; but on FC hosts with GCC compilers, yes, and
on other Linux hosts with PGI compilers.

Please contact me directly if you have further questions.
