To everybody:
This question was already answered internally, but I thought it would
be good to point out what the solution was.
Whenever you get a message from NCL about not being able to find a
file, like:
warning:Unable to Get System Resource File Name?
warning:Unable to load System Resource File (null)
then the most likely culprit is that your NCARG_ROOT environment
variable is either not set, or it is set incorrectly. It needs to be
set to the *parent* directory of where the NCL software is installed.
For example, if your NCL binary is in /usr/local/bin/ncl, and the
database files are in /usr/local/lib/ncarg, then you want to setenv
NCARG_ROOT to /usr/local.
You can do this in one of your home "dot" files (which should already
exist), like ".cshrc". You can then make sure that the "ncl"
executable is on your search path by adding $NCARG_ROOT/bin to your
search path. You need to make sure to do this *after* you setenv
NCARG_ROOT.
Email me directly if you have any questions about this.
