[Wrf-users] Error when running real data case (WRFv3.8)

[Mahendra Ladhe]

Hi,
  I'm following the WRF online tutorial to run real data case.
My system is x86_64 Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS

When I run "ncl util/plotgrids.ncl" (the step before running geogrid.exe)
I get following errors.

The "dmesg" command shows the following.
[3010772.945153] ncl[30395]: segfault at 7ff8ffffffff ip 00007ff9c80bcf29 sp 00007fff8208d090 error 4 in libc-2.19.so[7ff9c803a000+1bb000]

Anyone knows what could be wrong here ?

Thanks
Mahendra
