[ncl-install] Still mystery and no go.

[Joseph Cain]

Your recipe almost worked, at least insofar as making the env with the proper directory. However, the path seems not to want to pay attention to the fact that the ncl is in the /applications directory. Thanks especially for reminding me of the rehash command. It has been a pain to reboot the whole system with all the other programs i have going on it at once.
As you can see below I also tried to put the bin directory in the path directly instead of just with ${NCARG_ROOT}/bin with the same failed result.
One tiny more mystery to me is why the system keeps making "applications" "Applications" in the env.  It also seems to allow that directory to have either spelling.  I thought that unix was pretty case sensitive but must not be for the Imac.

I have set the default sign on shell for my IMac to tcsh and the .cshrc file seems to be invoked because it uses the alias for ls to be "ls -CF" which it did not do before when the sign on default was bash. I tried creating a .tcshrc file but that does not work.  Also, I have tried from the bash shell just setting to csh and also no go.
