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

[Mary Haley]

In the future, please post installation issues to ncl-install at ucar.edu
rather than ncl-talk at ucar.edu.

I think your issue is that you installed NCL via a package manager, and it
didn't put the NCL installation in the standard location.

It's possible that "ncl" ended up in /usr/bin, but that all the
supplemental files, which would normally end up in "/usr/lib/ncarg" may be
in "/usr/share/ncarg" or something similar.

Do you have a /usr/share/ncarg directory? If so, then you will need to set
NCARG_NCARG as well:

export NCARG_ROOT=/usr
export NCARG_NCARG=/usr/share/ncarg
