[ncl-install] the error message from phillip

[guangshan chen]

Hi Phillip,

The error for you is that ncl read one missing value from the data file. This is because that there is a blank line in my data file. (if you ask the same help from me).

Here is the solution:
using vi to edit you data file, and delete the last line. Both the scripts that I sent 
to you should work.
