[ncl-install] test problem with ncl

[Alberto Mario Striedinger Pinilla]

MAry!!


I will kiss you for ever XD. Thank you very much, it did work, the first
screen was black but then the earth globe appeared with South Africa in
colour XD.... Still, so that means I do not have the NCARG tools, ok I
though they were not needed... One question tough. I am working with WRF
3.3.1 with .nc files as outputs, I now can use ncl fro handling them but
will NCARG tools help me better for certain areas ?? or plots? I specially
heard someone saying I could couple ncl with something else for 3D ploting
of variables and layers as well. That would be amazing  and extremely
useful for my results.

Have a nice day XD.

ALberto STriedinger
