[ncl-install] Please help visualizing data

[Kevin Hallock]

Hi Mario,

Thanks for the information.

I tested this on a virtual machine with Ubuntu 17.10 Artful Aardvark and was able to get NCL working after installing the following packages:
sudo apt install libgfortran3 libgomp1 libfontconfig1 libxrender1

The ncl_ncarg-6.4.0-Debian8.6_64bit_nodap_gnu492.tar.gz package should work in this situation; the “nodap” version is perfectly fine if you have no need for OPeNDAP support.

Please let us know if installing those packages still does not fix the issue.

I hope this helps!
Kevin

If you are in fact on a 32-bit system, the only option on that page is "ncl_ncarg-6.4.0-Debian7.11_32bit_gnu472.tar.gz”.
