NCAR Graphics is a suite of Fortran and C libraries that you link to via other C or Fortran programs.</div><div><br></div><div>I do not recommend using NCAR Graphics, as it only does graphics.

I recommend that you try to use one of the precompiled NCL binaries that we provide for LINUX systems.</div><div><br></div><div>Please see our LINUX binary page where we explain the different binaries and which one you can download for your system</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/linux.shtml">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/linux.shtml</a></div><div><br></div><div>It sounds like from a previous message that you tried to download NCL via yum. This is not a version that we provide or support, so I'm not sure why it's not working for you.</div><div><br></div><div>To quickly test if you have NCL on your system and to see if it works, type (from a UNIX window):</div><div><br></div><div>ncl -V</div><div><br></div><div>This should echo a version number, like</div><div><br></div><div>6.1.2</div><div><br></div><div>If it says something like "command not found", then you either do not have NCL installed on your system, or else your system can't find it. </div><div><br></div><div>If you think you have it, then you probably just need to set your UNIX path so it can find the "ncl" executable.
