[ncl-install] Conda Install Report

[HAVENER, KEVIN F GS-12 USAF ACC 14 WS/WXED]

See my other email about the conflict between Fedora 23 rpm version of ncl and the conda version.  I think that is resolved to my satisfaction, except I need to file a bug report against the Fedora package.

Thanks for the insight on the PyNGL tests.  Right now I can't get them to pop a graphics window with the results.  Probably another configuration issue.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for reporting back with your results so far!

Could you please run the following commands and reply with the output:


echo $SHELL
echo $NCARG_ROOT
which ncargpath
ncargpath root

Given that the error message printed by ng4ex references the directory “/usr/share/ncarg”, I wonder if there may be an issue with how $NCARG_ROOT is being set or detected.

As for the issue running run-all-ex.sh, I believe that script runs a suite of tests provided with the hdf4 package, and the VD_create_vdatas program compiled by that test is not properly linking with the libjpeg.so.8 provided by the conda environment.

The directory $CONDA_ENV_PATH/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PyNGL/ncarg/pynglex should contain about 100 scripts that can be used to test PyNGL. (Some of these scripts require that you also have PyNIO installed.)

Thanks again,
Kevin

	I created an environment and installed ncl under my personal conda python 2.7.10 environment.  Install went fine as far as I can tell.
	
	Was surprised to see conda-ncl install a Python3 environment.  Good job.
	Tried to run the example suite as a test:
	 ncl -V:   r16433            ;;expected
	 ng4ex gsun01n: resource </usr/share/ncarg/resfile> does not exist  ;;unexpected
	
	Shouldn't the test/example suite run?  I did check to make sure that I was running the right ncl.
	
	As an aside:
	
	Same issue with pyngl/pynio.  Install went well.  Examples didn't run with "libjpeg.so.8 not found" during VD_create vdatas .  Here I tried to run the examples by using the run-all-ex.sh in the ~/anaconda2/envs/pyngl_test/share directory.  Seems like the pynglex script on the website is outdated/not included?
