I have tried to install NCL on the production server that I would like
to run my (web) application on. I followed:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/build_from_src.shtml

and got through most of it. I installed the stuff locally since I don't
have root access. Since it is a server it does not have X. I tried
tracking down the packages that are needed but did not succeed. In my
application I am only using the file input/output facility of NCL to
read GRIB and NetCDF files. I was therefore wondering whether it is
possible to build NCL somehow without X support. Do you know that?

Best regards,
Jesper

Btw. I am looking forward to the files being part of a NIO library.
