[ncl-install] installation error: "Resource directory does not exist"

[Mary Haley]

Hi Ralf,

It looks like you have another environment variable, like NCARG_NCARG set, probably left
over from another installation.

If you type

   env | NCARG

and see anything other than NCARG_ROOT set, then you may want to edit the .* file
that contains this setting, and either remove or comment it out.
