Installing NCVIEW for Ubuntu

Recently I ran into problems installing NCVIEW, which is a tool for efficiently viewing the contents of a NetCDF data file. The problem was something to do with the X terminal. So here's how to install it from source:

 wget ftp://cirrus.ucsd.edu/pub/ncview/ncview-1.93g.tar.gz  
 sudo apt-get install libxaw7-dev  
 tar -xvvf ncview-1.93g.tar.gz  
 cd ncview-1.93g/  
 ./configure --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib  
 make  
 make install
