Re: paleo_outline() and "mpDataSetName" problem with the new version 4.2.0.a034

Dear Yonggang Liu,

This particular map is not a part of the NCL distribution. It looks
like somebody made a customized map database for you (or your site)
that contains a map of the Neoproterozoic era, and then the files
associated with this customized map were not copied over with the new
installation of NCL. Generally, these custom files would be in the
directory "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/database" and called "neo_2x2.lines"
and "neo_2x2.names".

However you are loading this database with:

      "mpDataSetName" : "./neo_2x2"

and the "./" (I think) means that it will look for the files in your
current working directory.

So, you might want to check with the person who installed the new
version of NCL on your system and ask if they forgot to copy these
"neo_2x2" files over, or find out if they were supposed to be in some
other directory that perhaps got clobbered or moved.

Good luck,

--Mary
