[ncl-install] Error message: fatal:Could not open ($NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl)

[Thomas, Rebecca]

Hi,

Unfortunately the code I'm working with doesn't support ncl 6.3, so I have to use the 6.2 version.

Thanks,

Rebecca

6.2.1 ?  that is 2.5 years old.

The current release is 6.3.0. It contains many additional features not in 6.2.1

Suggestion!

Likely, NCL 6.4.0 will be released in the very near future. There is an internal code freeze and 6.4.0 is under going testing. Certainly, it will be released in February, 2017. If possible, wait until the 6.4.0 release.

Note: the 6.4.0 release a 'conda' release that should make installation easier for people.

Cheers

    I would export you NCARG environment in .bashrc not .bash_profile.   In my experience, I've been bitten too many times by the the fact that the .bash_profile belongs to login shells, and .bashrc is more general applying to subshells and such.  So in my .bash_profile II just tend to source my .bshrc and keep my configuration there.

    Hi,



    I’ve just installed ncl 6.2.1 and am getting the following error message when I try to run a scrip:



    fatal:Could not open ($NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl)



    I have looked through posts from other people who have had similar error messages, but I’m sure my NCARG_ROOT environment is correctly set:



    In my .bash_profile I have:



    export NCARG_ROOT=/usr/local/ncl-6.2.1

    export PATH=$NCARG_ROOT/bin:$PATH



    And I have run the following checks:



    env | grep NCARG

    NCARG_ROOT=/usr/local/ncl-6.2.1



    which ncl

    /usr/local/ncl-6.2.1/bin/ncl



    ncl -V

    6.2.1



    Thanks,



    Rebecca
