Hello

I am trying to use ncl for which I download a binary file with a precompile
ncl 6.3 (ncl_ncarg-6.3.0.Linux_RHEL6.4_x86_64_gcc447.tar.gz) but I am
receiving errors when I trying to execute ncl
First of all, as soon as I untar this file it seems that it copied the lib
and bin folder on /usr/local/ folder.

This is the linux machine I am using

$  uname -m
*x86_64*
$   cat /etc/issue
*CentOS release 6.6 (Final)*
*Kernel \r on an \m*

$   gcc --version
*gcc (GCC) 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-11)*

And this is the error I got,

$ ncl

Then I set * export NDV_COLORMAP_PATH=/usr/local/lib/ncarg/colormaps/*

I got this error

Could you please let me know if you can detect what I am missing?

Thank you
