[ncl-talk] Possible bug in NCL 6.4.0

[Marston Johnston]

There is still a lot of debugging you can do yourself to help with this situation. It is a very step to assume at this point that there is a bug in NCL.

The error code tells you where the problem lies, and you can examine the data for both NCL versions to see what has changed, or at least to see what the data looks like.

This is the golden rule: know your data.

Subject: [ncl-talk] Possible bug in NCL 6.4.0

 

Hi,

I'm not sure what is happening here. Running the same script on 6.3.0 works just fine while on 6.4.0 it produces an error inside the NCL code, which I'm not able to debug (as I don't know the original code that much). Maybe Mary or Dennis can take a look.

 

fatal:Subscript out of range, error in subscript #0

fatal:An error occurred reading tmp_names

fatal:["Execute.c":8640]:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 1251 in file /sw/rhel6-x64/ncl-6.4.0-gccsys/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/utilities.ncl

 

fatal:["Execute.c":8640]:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 1275 in file /sw/rhel6-x64/ncl-6.4.0-gccsys/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/utilities.ncl

 

fatal:["Execute.c":8640]:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 1314 in file /sw/rhel6-x64/ncl-6.4.0-gccsys/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/utilities.ncl

 

fatal:["Execute.c":8640]:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 1721 in file /sw/rhel6-x64/ncl-6.4.0-gccsys/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/utilities.ncl

 

fatal:["Execute.c":8640]:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 5457 in file $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl

 

fatal:["Execute.c":8640]:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 6079 in file $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl

 

fatal:["Execute.c":8640]:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 158 in file statistics.ncl

 

Since I can switch easily from 6.4. to 6.3. on the cluster that's not a big issue for now but I just thought to bring it to the attention. I'm attaching a test code and files. 

 

Cheers
