That's what I figured. Sounds like it may need to be nixed from the fink table.

The URL given for the download is not valid. I also see that ncl does not have a maintainer (fink describe ncl), so it may be out of date. The binaries available from NCAR work fine, and registering is straightforward. I would suggest that route if some one needs it. NCL is a scripting language for doing complex graphics built on top of the NCAR Graphics Library. One of its benefits is it can read a lot of the more common scientific data formats, so data input is simple. HTH, -Roy M.
