Yes, I have installed used them successfully. But we're using g77
native, not a commercial product running under Linux emulation.

I'd say that if you can't get the libraries to compile using the
Fortran compiler you're going to be using for development, then you
should reevaluate what you're doing. However, I was never able to find
sources for the NCSA_HDF part of the package, so I had to use FreeBSD
libraries from NCSA. You may need to build the NCAR libraries without
those, if you don't need them. If you do, use the Linux version of
them, but build everything else.
