[ncl-talk] Ubuntu14.10 "setenv" package installation issue

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

Perhaps your ncl is symlinked from somewhere else to /usr/bin.

Cd to /usr/bin and "ls -l ncl".  You may see something (fore example) like ncl -> /usr/local/ncl_ncarg-6.2.0/bin/ncl

In which case try setting your NCARG_ROOT to /usr/local/ncl_ncarg or whatever directory ncl is symlinked to.

Dear NCL users,


I still have the same problem when I tried to run ncl script, I got this error message:

fatal:Could not open ($NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl)
fatal:error at line 1 in file test1.ncl fatal:syntax error: line -1 before or near  


According to one of David's suggestions, I used the following command: "which ncl" and I got this: /usr/bin/ncl


But when I tried to use the command "export NCARG_ROOT=/usr" or "NCARG_ROOT=/usr ; export NCARG_ROOT"


And after that I tried to run my ncl script, I still have the same error messages above in red colour. 


How to solve this problem?--
