Also, I'd like to point out that it looks like you are using version
4.2.0.a034 and not 4.3.0/1. When you run "ncl", it echoes the version
number, and your case, it says:

        Copyright (C) 1995-2006 - All Rights Reserved
        University Corporation for Atmospheric Research
        NCAR Command Language Version 4.2.0.a034

If you have two versions of NCL installed on your system, you need to
make sure that your search path is set up so that it points to the
newer version first. Also, you may need to adjust your NCARG_ROOT
environment variable. Let me know if you need help with this.

I noticed that in your reply to other people who asked the same question in April, you indicated that the new version will solve this problem. So I downloaded the latest version (ncl-4.3.1.Linux_i686_gcc3) and replaced the old NCL library with the new one (all files in the directory lib/ncarg and "libnclapi.a" are updated). However, neither eofunc_varimax nor eof_varimax returnes the correct pcvar_varimax. Is this because I updated the library only but not the entire NCL package? Or is there somthing
