Hi Mary,<br>
Just FYI, we have found a solution to this problem.<br>
Compiling from source was not necessary. Turns out that to run ncl
on Cray machines, you need the following:<br>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<pre><code>export NCARG_USRRESFILE=$NCARG_ROOT/hluresfile
export MY_TMP=/scratch/y98/julia/tmp
TMPDIR=$MY_TMP aprun -n 1 $NCARG_ROOT/bin/ncl script.ncl</code></pre>
Not explicitly defining NCAR_USRRESFILE caused the seg fault. <br>
We got this info from another group which runs ncl on a Cray
machine:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.archer.ac.uk/about-archer/software/modcatalogue/ncl/">http://www.archer.ac.uk/about-archer/software/modcatalogue/ncl/</a><br>
<br>
This did the trick for us. Might be worth putting this link on NCL
install web-page if anyone else is running ncl on Cray machines via
aprun.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jatin<br>

Does anyone have experience running ncl on a Cray
supercomputer, using<br>
the aprun utility?<br>
<br>
Some machine details:<br>
jatinkala@magnus-2:~> uname -a<br>
Linux magnus-2 3.0.101-0.46-default #1 SMP Wed Dec 17
11:04:10 UTC 2014<br>

jatinkala@magnus-2:~> cat /etc/*-release<br>
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)<br>
VERSION = 11<br>
PATCHLEVEL = 3<br>
Cluster Manager v6.1<br>

LSB_VERSION="core-2.0-noarch:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-noarch:core-2.0-x86_64:core-3.2-x86_64:core-4.0-x86_64"<br>
<br>
I installed the SL pre-compiled binary:<br>
ncl_ncarg-6.2.1.Linux_SL6.5_x86_64_nodap_gcc447.tar.g<br>
<br>
A simple print("hello") program is giving us a segmentation
fault.....<br>
<br>
I'm still waiting on the sys admins, but in your opinion,
does it look<br>
like we will have to build from source using the Cray C and
Fortran<br>
compilers?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jatin<br>
