[ncl-install] Error in running NCL on Ubuntu

Mon Apr 3 08:17:07 MDT 2017

Hi Gaurav,

You are installing an old version of NCL that is put in a somewhat
non-standard location (the LINUX RPMs were not created by us).

The issue is that because this is a non-standard installation, you need to
have multiple environment variables like NCARG_ROOT, NCARG_LIB, and
NCARG_NCARG set.  I think these should have been set for you, so I'm not
sure what happened.

However, this is an old version of NCL, and I highly recommend installing
the new version (6.4.0) which has many new features and bug fixes.

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/current_release.shtml

I don't think the new version is available via a LINUX RPM yet, but you can
use conda, which is similar. This will put everything in a singly contained
directory:

Please give this a try.  If you continue to have problems, then subscribe
to ncl-install and post your question by sending an email to
ncl-install at ucar.edu.

Thank you,

--Mary
