[ncl-install] ng4ex directory error still there?

[Trostel, John M.]

[jt2 at littleboy2 util]$ which ncl
~/Build_WRF/NCL/bin/ncl
[jt2 at littleboy2 util]$ env | grep NCARG
NCARG_FONTCAPS=/home/jt2/Build_WRF/NCL/lib/ncarg/fontcaps
NCARG_GRAPHCAPS=/home/jt2/Build_WRF/NCL/lib/ncarg/graphcaps
NCARG_ROOT=/home/jt2/Build_WRF/NCL
NCARG_DATABASE=/home/jt2/Build_WRF/NCL/lib/ncarg/database
NCARG_LIB=/home/jt2/Build_WRF/NCL/lib/ncarg
NCARG_NCARG=/home/jt2/Build_WRF/NCL/lib/ncarg
[jt2 at littleboy2 util]$ ncl -V
6.4.0



I think ng4ex is looking for xy01n.ncl script in the wrong place.  ?

John,

Sorry if this has already been answered. I'm going through some old emails that look like they haven't been responded to yet.

The likely cause of this problem is that your environment is not set up properly.

At a minimum, in order to run ncl, you must have NCARG_ROOT set to the parent directory directory of where the NCL software was installed, AND, $NCARG_ROOT/bin must be part of your PATH environment variable.

When you use apt-get, which is not supported by us, the installation gets split up over two parent directories, and hence you also need to set NCARG_NCARG, which I believe apt-get does for you.

The problem comes in when you try to install a new version of NCL.  When you do this, you must update NCARG_ROOT and PATH to point to the new directories, but you must also make sure you don't have the old NCARG_NCARG still set.

In order to see if your environment is wrong, you can type the following commands on the UNIX command line:

which ncl
env | grep NCARG
ncl -V

--Mary

I should add that one install was using apt-get install, giving me a 6.4 NCL, while the other was using a precompiled binary, giving me a 6.5 NCL.  I used the ncl_ncarg-6.5.0-SuSE12_64bit_nodap_gnu730.tar.gz file...

I installed ncl two ways and both ways resulted in a directory error when running the "ng4ex xy05n -clean" test.

In both cases it failed to find the xy05n test.

Running directly as suggested: "ncl $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclex/xyplot/xy01n.ncl" however works.

Is the ng4ex script still broken?
