[ncl-install] problem with set up my NCL environment‏

[Mary Haley]

Sebastien,

Dave Brown pointed out to me that your PATH is actually not being set
correctly. It might have been working before if already had
"/usr/local/bin" in your search path.

For future reference, to correctly set your path for ksh or bash:

   export PATH=$NCARG_ROOT/bin:$PATH

For sh, it requires two lines:

   PATH=$NCARG_ROOT/bin:$PATH
   export PATH

For csh:

  setenv PATH $NCARG_ROOT/bin:$PATH

This syntax is confusing and easy to get wrong!
