Neelima,

It looks like you don't have the full path correct.  Are your files  
indeed installed
to the root directory "/ 
ncl_ncarg-5.1.1.Linux_x86_64_gcc412.tar.gz_FILES"?

Or, is this a subdirectory of another directory, say:  /home/neelima/ 
ncl_ncarg-5.1.1.Linux_x86_64_gcc412.tar.gz_FILES?

If you cd to this "ncl_ncarg-5.1.1.Linux_x86_64_gcc412.tar.gz_FILES"  
directory and type:

    pwd

what does it report?

Also, if you can't run "env", then it sounds like something is wrong  
with your UNIX shell.

What kind of window are you typing "env" from? Are you able to type  
other UNIX
commands, like:

    ls

?
