It must be run on a 32-bit version. But, what usually happens here is that you get the UNIX prompt back with absolutely no output echoed or any warning whatsoever.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">On some Linux systems, we've seen issues where one Linux binary may not necessarily work optimally on a different flavor of Linux. If this is a Linux system, then you might try a different Linux binary for NCL. If you're going to do this, then I also recommend that you upgrade to NCL V6.3.0.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">--Mary</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 10, 2015 at 8:17 AM, Rick Brownrigg <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:brownrig@ucar.edu" target="_blank">brownrig@ucar.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi John,<br><br></div>That's certainly an odd behavior that I don't think we've seen before.
