[ncl-talk] Nhlnewmarker Seg Fault

[Mary Haley]

Hi all,

Elizabeth and I took this offline, and I had her try a 6.2.0 version of NCL
to see if it fixed her problem, which it did.

For the record, if you are using a system installed version of NCL and need
access to a newer version or a test version, then you can do this without
having to bother your system administrator about overwriting the system
installed version.

You can install versions of NCL in a personal directory under your home
directory, and run that instead of the system version.   What's involved is
changing a couple of environment variables, NCARG_ROOT and PATH, and I'm
happy to help with this.

Of course, as a courtesy, you should *always* alert your system
administrator if you are going to do something like this. They may have
their own policies about running your own versions of software.

--Mary
