[ncl-install] ncl error

[Mary Haley]

Lia,

The issue appears to be with your setting of the DISPLAY environment variable.

You shouldn't need to set this at all, so try *not* setting it.  You will need to logout and log back in for any environment variable changes to take effect, if you put them in a .* file in your home directory.
