<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt"><p style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">I use Firefox as my browser and I'm
running under Windows 7 on a 64-bit computer.</p>
I downloaded and successfully started Cygwin/X. Using Windows Explorer I
can see my home directory, C:\cygwin\home\book. I can open a Cygwin/X
window by
clicking on my Cygwin desktop icon.
<br />
<br />
(But
when I open a Cygwin/X window, the prompt reads<br />
<pre>Book@Book-Enigmatics </pre>
instead of<br />
<pre>Book.
</pre>
I don't understand this, but I don't think that's the
source of my problem.)<br />
<br />
Then I downloaded<br />
<pre>/ncl_ncarg-6.1.0.CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64_i686.tar.gz
</pre>
and saved it in my home directory. I can see it there, either by
opening the directory with Windows Explorer<br />
or by opening a Cygwin/X window and doing <br />
<pre>ls -a.
</pre>
Then I tried to install it, following the instructions under
"Install NCL" in the chapter entitled "Installing
Cygwin/X (Windows)" in the NCL online manual.
I typed <br />
<pre>cd /usr/local .
</pre>
No problem. The prompt says that I am now at <br />
<pre>/usr/local ,
</pre>
as it should. But when I type<br />
<pre>gunzip /ncl_ncarg-6.1.0.CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64_i686.tar.gz ,
</pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: arial;">I get this message: </span></pre>
<pre>gzip: /cygwin/home/Book/ncl_ncarg-6.1.0.CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64_i686.tar.gz: No such file or directory
</pre>
I tried downloading the file again again. No luck. Then I downloaded the
unzipped file,<br />
<pre>/ncl_ncarg-6.1.0.CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64_i686.tar ,</pre>
and tried untarring it (i.e., skipping the gzip step). No luck. My system still says it can't find the file and/or directory.
<br />
<br />
Can someone tell me what is going on and how to fix it? <br />
<br />
