[ncl-install] the error message from phillip

[Mary Haley]

Phillip,

It looks like the problem is that you are mixing versions of NCL on  
your system.

The actual "ncl" executable you're running is at V5.1.0, but you have  
NCARG_ROOT
set to /home/naishi/NCL5.1.1_VERSION.

I think you just need to make sure /home/naishi/NCL5.1.1_VERSION/bin  
is on your
search path *before* /usr/local/bin, and you should be set.

Look in your home directory to see which file you are setting your  
"path" in:

     cd
     grep -i path .*

If you see something that looks like this:

     set path=(/some/path  /some/other/path /another/path)

or like this:

export PATH=/some/path:/some/other/path:/another/path

then add /home/naishi/NCL5.1.1_VERSION/bin to the front of it:

     set path=(/home/naishi/NCL5.1.1_VERSION/bin /some/path  /some/ 
other/path /another/path)


Logout and log back in, and type:

   ncl -V
   which ncl

to see if it gets V5.1.1 of NCL this time.
