[ncl-install] Still mystery and no go.

[Ted Mansell]

Your path does not include the ncl bin directory.

Instead of 

setenv PATH /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/X11/bin:ncl_ncarg-5.2.1.MacOS_10.6_i386_64bit_nodap_gcc421/bin

try 

setenv PATH /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/X11/bin:${NCARG_ROOT}/bin

Or just on the command line, type

set path=($path ${NCARG_ROOT}/bin)

then type "rehash" (may or may not be needed), and try the ng4ex test again.

(Actually it is better to test whether PATH is already set or not unless you have a need to clobber the default value.)

I have set the default sign on shell for my IMac to tcsh and the .cshrc file seems to be invoked because it uses the alias for ls to be "ls -CF" which it did not do before when the sign on default was bash. I tried creating a .tcshrc file but that does not work.  Also, I have tried from the bash shell just setting to csh and also no go.
