<br>
I have a problem to install and run NCL on my computer (system
software Windows 7, 64 bit). <br>
<br>
I installed Cygwin/X, like described in your instructions in the
default path C:\\cygwin... with all packages mentioned on your
help and in the 'Cygwin/X User's Guide'. I can run it and it has
a home directory. <br>
<br>
Afterwards I downloaded NCL (Version 6.1.0 for Cygwin) and put
the *.tar.gz file in my home directory. Using Cygwin and the
command gunzip c://cygwin/home/... I unziped the file (without
'c:/' i got the error: No such file or directory). But I can't
utilise the next command: tar -xvf c://cygwin/home..., there is
the error: tar: Cannot connect to c: decomposition failed. So I
manually integrated the files in my home directory using 7-Zip.
<br>
<br>
Then I copied as described the additonal code lines <br>
export NCARG_ROOT=/usr/local <br>
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH <br>
and <br>
export DISPLAY=0.0 <br>
in the .bashrc file. (I don't know, if I have to put a '#' at
the begining of every line, but i found no difference yet). <br>
Unfortunately there is no .cshrc file, so I couldn't add the two
setenv-commands. Anyway I can use the C-shell. Typing 'which
csh' or 'which tcsh' gives '<i class="moz-txt-slash"><span
class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>usr/local<span
class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i>(t)csh'. And I'm sure, that
the 'tcsh'-package is installed. <br>
<br>
Finally I tested NCL, but it didn't work. Typing 'ncl -V' gives
'bash: ncl: command not found.' <br>
<br>
Actually I don't know, what to do different. I have
administrators access rights and I added already a path '
C:\cygwin\bin' to system enviroment variables. But I'm not sure,
if I unziped all files correctly in the right folders. <br>
<br>
Thank you for your contribution to help me. Kind regards. <br>
