[ncl-talk] NCL error managing SCM output

If I may jump in here: I think the issue is with NCARG_LIB. Why is it set
to:
NCARG_LIB=/usr/local/ncl_ncarg-6.2.0/lib:/usr/lib64
I don't think you can even set NCARG_LIB to multiple paths, as this feature
isn't supported by NCL.
It looks to me like you have everything installed under
/usr/local/ncl_ncarg-6.2.0,
so the only NCARG_XXXX environment variable you should have set is:
NCARG_ROOT=/usr/local/ncl_ncarg-6.2.0
Try unsetting all of these:
NCARG_FONTCAPS=/usr/local/ncl_ncarg-6.2.0/lib/ncarg/fontcaps
NCARG_GRAPHCAPS=/usr/local/ncl_ncarg-6.2.0/lib/ncarg/graphcaps
NCARG_DATABASE=/usr/local/ncl_ncarg-6.2.0/lib/ncarg/database
NCARG_LIB=/usr/local/ncl_ncarg-6.2.0/lib:/usr/lib64
NCARG_NCARG=/usr/local/ncl_ncarg-6.2.0/lib/ncarg
and then rerunning your script.
Also, as another "debugging" effort to see where NCL is trying to find your
colormaps, you can type the following on the UNIX command line:
ncargpath colormaps
Whatever is echoed here is the path that NCL will use to look for
colormaps, and this is where the "BlueWhiteOrangeRed.rgb" file better be.
