Dear ncl support team<br>
<br>
I have installed ncl with the command: aptitude install ncl.<br>
<br>
Next, I am trying to use ncl but it seems installation is not
complete.<br>
<br>
In the terminal I type: ncl
/home/hesselm/repos/software/wrf/ncl/trunk/plotgrids.ncl<br>
The following error message is displayed in the terminal:<br>
