Balazs,

I installed gvim from the distribution. The policy for software installs
is pretty straight forward. If it's generally needed, it can be
installed in /usr/local. ncview seems to be a less generally used
software package so for now, installing it in your home directory would
be the best solution. If demand increases, we can look into installing
it in /usr/local.
