<pre wrap="">Hi,
I had some trouble getting ncl (pre compiled binary) to work on a Cray system before. Here is a snippet of the email from the sys admin:
####
export NCARG_ROOT=/group/y98/ncl-6.2.1
export NCARG_USRRESFILE=$NCARG_ROOT/hluresfile
export MY_TMP=/scratch/y98/[your-user-id]/tmp
TMPDIR=$MY_TMP aprun -n 1 $NCARG_ROOT/bin/ncl plot_entropy_examples.ncl
The key here is that the environment variable NCARG_USRRESFILE must be set.
This is causing the SEGV observed earlier. The file need not exist, or may be empty,
but the environment variable must be set.
I recommend you create a temporary directory and specify MY_TMP as above. By
default, temporary files are written to /tmp, which on Magnus is actually memory.
This can create problems if you have large temporary files.
####

Hope this helps. We did manage to get ncl to work on this cray machine without having to build from source.
Cheers,
Jatin

<p>Hello friends!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Has anyone had any luck building ncl for SLES11
or Cray systems? I have been going back and
forth between trying to build ncl from source
(which is indeed as hard as the docs claim it
is) and trying to get the CentOS 7 and RHEL 6
binaries to work correctly on SLES11. I think I
can power through it and get *something* to
work, but if anyone has thoughts or suggestions
(or wild guesses) I would be very grateful for
your input.

<p>Thank you so much,<br>
