[ncl-talk] Input in flex scanner failed

[David Brown]

Hi Michael,

These files are used by the map plotting routines. Since they are not NCL
source code, they cannot be loaded with the "load" command.
As explained on the web page you pointed to:

You must download all ten of these files, unzip them, and either put them
in the directory "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/database/rangs" (which NCL will
look in by default), or put them somewhere else and set the environment
variable NCARG_RANGS to this directory. The files take up about 140
megabytes, unzipped.

Assuming you leave them in their current location you simply need to set
the environment variable NCARG_RANGS to
point to the directory:

export NCARG_RANGS=/Users/notaro/upper_fox_river/rangs
or
setenv NCARG_RANGS /Users/notaro/upper_fox_river/rangs
