my climate model outputs. Though the installation of NCL was successful and
gives me the plots;

I have already set my NCARG env in .bashrc.

This example was set up to display the output to an
X11 window.

At this point when I try to run the ncl script, I end up with some error
message below;

ncl 0> will_plot_era_arc2_std.ncl

Please consider to help think of a solution.
