2) Is bison-1.28 appropriate for to build ncap and ncap2 for
nco. Nco-4.0.2 has not compiled for me, and I am seeing if the
absence of bison is the problem.
To begin with, 1.28 is so old that probably few here will remember it.
If you can, try to install latest stable version, but first installing
M4, which it will need.
The location of the install depends on the system, but on BSD systems
(like Mac OS X), it is /usr/local/.
Then .bashrc is only read when creating a non-login shell (like X11
and xterm on Mac OS X). So I have:
source ~/.profile
On Mac OS X, the file .profile is read when starting Terminal. The
paths I use correspond to the stuff below, though I have a more
complicated script that only adds a path if not already there (as when
invoking a shell within a shell). I'm not sure LIBPATH is used for
anything, but that is where the libraries are.
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/X11R6/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/
sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin
MANPATH=/usr/local/share/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/X11R6/
man
INFOPATH=/usr/local/share/info:/usr/local/info:/usr/share/info
LIBPATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib
# Export changed paths:
export PATH
export MANPATH
export INFOPATH
export LIBPATH
