[ncl-talk] Problem with NCL on MacOS X installed using macports

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi Ben,

That is bizarre indeed. It seems to be related to the MacPorts version -- I
don't get that behavior on my linux box nor my Mac (those are development
versions that I've built).  Are you able to readily track down the MacPorts
ncl executable and send that to me -- don't sweat it if it takes more than
a minute for you.

Rick
