[ncl-install] Pb calling scripts

[Gilles Bellon]

Hello,

I have installed the last version of not OPeNDAP-enabled NCL binaries (NCL 5.0.0 32-bit binary for i686 chips for LINUX, compiled with gcc 3.x) on my Linux box and everything seems to work fine except that 
I can't run scripts.
Here is the error message, essai.ncl being a script that I have no trouble running line by line:

ncl 0> ncl essai
fatal:syntax error: line 0 before or near essai
ncl essai
--------^

fatal:error in statement

What did I do wrong?
Thanks,
