[ncl-install] Fwd: GKS ERROR NUMBER -208 ?

[David Brown]

Hi Octavia,

In order to draw to an X11 window on a Mac you need to download, install,
and run XQuartz. You can get it at http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/.

You can also try to draw to a PostScript or PDF file instead of to an X11
window by using the -W option to ng4ex. In testing I find that gsun01n is
only enabled for X11, but you can try other examples, e.g.:

ng4ex -W pdf cn01n -clean

 -dave
