[ncl-talk] Help needed to run NCL script

[Mary Haley]

Bellamy,

The issue looks to be that NCARG_ROOT is not set correctly. It should be
set to the *root* directory of wherever NCL is installed.

The error message is complaining about not finding things in:

 /gpfs1/software/ncarg/lib/ncarg/lib/ncarg/sysresfile


Note that "ncarg/lib" appears twice in this path. I think that you have
NCARG_ROOT set to

 /gpfs1/software/ncarg/lib


when it should be set to:

 /gpfs1/software/ncarg


You may also need to be sure you have no other NCARG_*XXXX *environment
variables set. To check this, type the following from the UNIX command line:

env | grep NCARG


If you see anything else like NCARG_LIB or NCARG_NCARG being set, then make
sure these are NOT set. These are usually set in one of your .xxxx files in
your home directory, which you can verify with:

grep NCARG ~/.*


IMPORTANT: You are using a version of NCL that is 9 years old.  You are
likely to run into many issues with this version.  I suggest upgrading to
NCL V6.4.0 (or wait for NCL V6.5.0 which should be this month).

The download and install instructions are here, I recommend using the
"conda" instructions:

Good luck,
