[ncl-install] possible directory error in ncl-6.4.0 test script?

[Sam McClatchie]

Hi

I've just installed NCL-6.4.0 on ubuntu 17.10 using the opendap enabled 
archive ncl_ncarg-6.4.0-Debian8.6_64bit_gnu492.tar.gz.

Everything seems to be working fine, e.g.

ng4ex NUG_xy_plot NUG_panel_plot

runs and produces the plots, and the opendap test script returns the 
expected output.  However, I detect what may be a small error in one of 
the tests on this page <http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/install.shtml>:

You can quickly test if NCL is installed properly by typing:

     ng4ex xy01n -clean

smcc at jaguar:~$ ng4ex xy01n -clean

NCAR Graphics NCL Example <xy01n>

Segmentation fault
Copying xy01n.ncl
cp: cannot stat '/usr/share/ncl-6.4.0/lib/ncarg/nclex//xy01n.ncl': No 
such file or directory

Running NCL...
xy01n.ncl: No such file or directory.

ncl failed.

I notice there is a // in the file location. When I look for the example 
file:

smcc at jaguar:~$ locate xy01n.ncl
/usr/share/ncl-6.4.0/lib/ncarg/nclex/xyplot/xy01n.ncl

Is there a missing subdirectory in the call to the example file?

Best fishes
Sam
