<p class="MsoPlainText">The files you edit depend on what shell you are running.

<p class="MsoPlainText">env | grep SHELL<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">If you are running /usr/bash or /usr/ksh, then you may
need to edit your <o:p></o:p></p>

".bashrc" file.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">> Hi Dave,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">> NCARG_ROOT needs to be set to the location where you
see the "bin", "lib" <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">> and "include" directories that got created
when you extracted the file.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">> You currently have "bin", "lib",
and "include" in your Download directory, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">> which is not a recommended permanent place to
install software.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">> Normally I would suggest extracting the software in
a directory like <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">> /usr/local. If you don't have permissions to do
that, then you can put it <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">> somewhere in your home directory under a directory
called "NCL", like <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">> "/home/dknollhoff/NCL" and then setting NCARG_ROOT to <o:p></o:p></p>
