[ncl-install] NCL Ubuntu

[HAVENER, KEVIN F GS-12 USAF ACC 14 WS/WXED]

If you don't need 6.1.2, then I'd suggest 'sudo apt-get remove ncl" it.  If you really need both versions then you need to de-conflict the two installations.  If you use the commands that Mary gave you, you will see that your Ubuntu is trying to use the 6.1.2 version.  I have successfully used the Ubuntu installed version and a newer version in the past but I forget the mojo.    It does matter where and when you set your NCARG_ROOT.  One possible error:  assuming bash, you set it in your .bash_profile, not your .bashrc.  In this situation your login shell knows NCARG_ROOT, but no other terminal you open will.  So either don't set it in .bash_profile or have bash_profile source .bashrc as the last act in your .bash_profile.

I think also if you do the 'env' command below, I think you will find that the Ubuntu package sets some other environment variables that are similar to, but different than 'NCARG_ROOT'.  You will need to figure out how to unset those.  Easiest way is to remove 6.1.2, which I highly recommend.

Hi Mary,
I set my 
NCARG_ROOT=/usr/local/lib/NCL6.3/
but my ncl is at /usr/bin/ncl and version 6.1.2

JP,

How exactly and where are you setting NCARG_ROOT?

If you type the following at the UNIX prompt from a Terminal window, what does it report?

env | grep NCARG
which  ncl
ncl -V

If you are setting anything other than NCARG_ROOT, then uncomment these from whatever .* file in your home directory is setting them.

	Hi there,
	I am having trouble setting my NCL on my Ubuntu WSL. I keep trying export NCARG_ROOT= wherever my NCL6.3 is but it keeps thinking the NCARG_ROOT is the ncl that I sudo apt-get installed. How can I fix this?
	
	
	Thanks,
