[ncl-talk] Possible bug in NCL 6.4.0

[Mary Haley]

Guido and Rick,

I took a quick look at this because I was afraid it was some code I was
responsible for (it is).

It looks like the error is coming from trying to parse color map names
(although without digging further, I'm not sure why it's doing this).

By any chance, do you have the NCARG_COLORMAPS environment variable set?
If so, you might try unsetting it just to see if the script runs.

It runs fine for me with NCL V6.3.0, V6.4.0, and our current development
version.

If you do have NCARG_COLORMAPS set, can you let me know what it's set to,
so I can see if there's something we need to fix with regard to this?

Thanks,

--Mary
