<p>Hi</p>
<p>I've just installed NCL-6.4.0 on ubuntu 17.10 using the opendap
enabled archive ncl_ncarg-6.4.0-Debian8.6_<wbr>64bit_gnu492.tar.gz.</p>
<p>Everything seems to be working fine, e.g.</p>
ng4ex NUG_xy_plot NUG_panel_plot<br>
<p>runs and produces the plots, and the opendap test script returns
the expected output. However, I detect what may be a small error
in one of the tests on this page <a class="m_-3277629988020654520moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/install.shtml" target="_blank"><http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/<wbr>Download/install.shtml></a>:</p>

I notice there is a // in the file location. When I look for the

Is there a missing subdirectory in the call to the example file?<br>
