[ncl-install] Installing ncl on debian 8 from debian repository problem

[Mary Haley]

Ugo,

You installed NCL from a repository that is not supported by us.  This
installation puts NCL in multiple directories, including /usr/bin and
/usr/share.

In order for this particular installation to work you need to set these
environment variables:

export NCARG_ROOT=/usr
export NCARG_NCARG=/usr/share/ncarg
export PATH=$NCARG_ROOT/bin:$PATH

NCL V6.4.0 is not released yet.  If you want to try a *test* version of NCL
V6.4.0, then we have a conda version of this available, which is supported
by us. See:
