[ncl-install] Re: [ncl-talk] Building NCL: ncargpath: Command not found

[Mary Haley]

Hi Jan,

For future reference, we are asking people to post installation  
questions to
ncl-install at ucar.edu. You need to subscribe just as you did ncl-talk:

     http://mailman.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/ncl-install

Anyway, you're right. this is a chicken and egg kind of problem.  
Instead of
typing:

    ./ymake

try:

   ./ymake -config `pwd`

This was already updated in the instructions at:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/build_from_src.shtml

The INSTALL file in the $NCARG has the wrong instructions.
