Hi Khalia,

If you don't need an OPeNDAP-enabled version of NCL, then I suggest installing the non-OPeNDAP version, which doesn't have dependencies on the above libraries.

The above error is indicating that either NCARG_ROOT is not set or it is set incorrectly, or the file simply isn't there.

I'm not sure why it behaves differently when you run it interactively, but are you running it *exactly* the same way?

For example, are you typing:

   ncl wrf_Surface.ncl

and this produces the error, but then running ncl interactively:

ncl
ncl 0> load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"


works fine?

This really makes no sense.  I wonder if there's some other kind of error in your wrf_Surface.ncl script.

What happens if you put the line:

 system("ls $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl")

before the load calls?
