The remaining rpmlint complaints are:
  ncl.x86_64: W: non-conffile-in-etc /etc/profile.d/ncarg.csh
  ncl.x86_64: W: non-conffile-in-etc /etc/profile.d/ncarg.sh
which are both OK as I understand things.

I know this isn't going to be a pretty package, what with needing both imake and
fortran to build, but the end result doesn't seem terribly bad.

Some of the binaries seem destined to conflict with something (fontc, med,
psplit, etc.) but this package has been around for so long that it would be
pointless to think of renaming any of them.

Now, on to the stuff in %_libdir:

First, why is it all in %_libdir/ncarg/ncarg?  Why not just one ncarg?

What are the .o files in %_libdir/ncarg/ncarg/robj for?

Your -devel package should provide ncl-static = %{version}-%{release}.

But really, for a crufty piece of software like this, this package isn't bad.
