[ncl-install] Error message: fatal:Could not open ($NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl)

[Thomas, Rebecca T]

Hi Mary,

Yes, I also thought that might be the issue too but I checked and its definitely there (I also checked permissions and they are all fine):

ls $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/
ccm_func.ncl
contributed.ncl
diagnostics_cam.ncl
gsn_code.ncl
gsn_csm.ncl
popRemap.ncl
shea_util.ncl
skewt_func.ncl
wind_rose.ncl

I’ve been told the reason I can use ncl v 6.3 is because:
                         A missing "undef" before the declaration of the function "mreg_part_corr" in the NCL library “$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/shea_util.ncl” causes the ESMValTool to crash when this library is loaded more than once within the same execution. This unfortunately happens quite often within the tool, since libraries can be loaded multiple times within the various scripts.

If this is something that has been fixed in version 6.4, then I’m happy to wait until that’s released (apparently sometime this month), and hopefully the issue I’m having will fix itself?

Thanks,

Rebecca

Hi Rebecca,

This may seem like a "is it plugged in" kind of question, but is there actually a contributed.ncl file in that directory?

ls $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl

NCL Version 6.2.1 should definitely have that file, but you didn't say how you installed NCL, and it's possible that your "ncarg" directory got installed somewhere other than in $NCARG_ROOT/lib.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately it didn’t fix the problem.

    I would export you NCARG environment in .bashrc not .bash_profile.   In my experience, I've been bitten too many times by the the fact that the .bash_profile belongs to login shells, and .bashrc is more general applying to subshells and such.  So in my .bash_profile II just tend to source my .bshrc and keep my configuration there.

    Hi,



    I’ve just installed ncl 6.2.1 and am getting the following error message when I try to run a scrip:



    fatal:Could not open ($NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl)



    I have looked through posts from other people who have had similar error messages, but I’m sure my NCARG_ROOT environment is correctly set:



    In my .bash_profile I have:



    export NCARG_ROOT=/usr/local/ncl-6.2.1

    export PATH=$NCARG_ROOT/bin:$PATH



    And I have run the following checks:



    env | grep NCARG

    NCARG_ROOT=/usr/local/ncl-6.2.1



    which ncl

    /usr/local/ncl-6.2.1/bin/ncl



    ncl -V

    6.2.1



    Thanks,



    Rebecca
