[ncl-install] After install to cygwin, no response to any command

[Robert Cohen]

I have another question.

The reason I am using a 64-bit machine is because I need more RAM in order to hold the graphics generated when I used "animate" with idt.  On my 32-bit machine, I can only have 4 GB RAM, which is not enough.

If I use the 32-bit Cygwin, will I still have access to the entire 16 GB RAM on my 64-bit machine? 

If not, it seems I should install Linux, correct?

Hi Robert,

Did you read this section of the Cygwin document that we provide:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/cygwin.shtml#InstallCygwinX

It mentions that NCL will not work with the 64-bit setup-x86_64.exe code.  You must use the setup-x86.exe code when you install Cygwin.
We haven't created a NCL binary for 64-bit Cygwin yet.
