[ncl-talk] ncl_filedump error

[Rick Brownrigg]

Yes to answer you primary question, ncl_filedump is inherently a C-shell
script, and thus incompatible with bash. This is interesting however in
that this is the second report that I'm aware of where  ncl_filedump has
core dumped on an Ubuntu system.  I unfortunately was unable to duplicate
the problem on an Ubuntu VM I installed for the purpose of investigating. I
too had had to install csh, which I did by "apt-get install tcsh"   FWIW --
on most modern Linux distros, "csh" is actually a symlink to the Tahoe
shell "tcsh". Do you know if this was the case for you?
