Is this right? Has anybody installed and used successfully > NCARG libraries? 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.
