Hello NCL users,

I am facing an issue about systemfunc. I have 4 years daily TRMM data to
plot. I used NCO "ncrcat" to mergetime. But when I wanted to plot, I am
getting the following errors:

fatal:systemfunc: cannot create child process:[errno=12]
fatal:["Execute.c":8575]:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 4151 in
file $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl

fatal:["Execute.c":8575]:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 93 in file
mon_precip_trmm.ncl

This line 93 corresponds to: wks =
gsn_open_wks("png","Mean_Monthly_Rainfall_TRMM")

But if I used "x11" as plot type, it works, but not for "png" or "eps".

How to solve this issue?
