[ncl-install] Unable to run ncl on my computer-x11 won't open

[Kevin Hallock]

Hi Grace,

I’m not sure why that’s happening, but I’ve seen similar behavior when ssh’ing from a Mac to certain Linux machines myself. Could you please try running “ssh -Y …” instead of “ssh -X …”, and then run xclock again?

I hope this helps,
Kevin

I have set the NCARG_ROOT environment variable, added $NCARG_ROOT/bin to my search path, and turned on X11 forwarding by putting in ssh -X. Still, whenever I type in xclock I get Error: Can't open display:
