Sorry, I have been out-of-town. We ask that people not respond back to individual developers directly, because we are not available 24/7.  It is best to always CC the email group for all correspondence.

It sounds like you solved your own problem. Yes, it is always better to remove a "bad" installation if it is not working.

It is possible to have multiple versions of NCL on your machine, just by changing NCARG_ROOT and your search path, but, it is better not to do this if one of the versions is not working.

It doesn't hurt anything to use this directory, but it's a little awkward. Normally we would suggest something like "/home/fkomijani/NCL 6.1.2".
