Re: Ubuntu Linux: No plot in x11 window

Hi.
Here is one solution to look into if all else fails
I encountered a few problems with ubuntu and ncl in the past although
not with x11. So I switched to a version.
I installed an off-shoot of linux ubuntu, known as "Linux Mint" on my
system. It has a lot of fixes to various areas (and is very
elegent-looking, if you like that sort of stuff).
http://www.linuxmint.com/
After all of the required "sudo apt-get updates," I installed NCL, and
the x11 graphics handling works great.

The pdf workstation creates perfect images, so I know that I'm coding it correctly. A "blank white" x11 window pops up, and cycles normally when I click it, until all plots are "displayed", and then closes. I tried the command "xeyes" to make sure x11 was working properly, and it did it's normal thing. As a side note, I'm not using CYGWIN (though that installation on another PC works great), but Ubuntu Linux (version 7.10). Any ideas?
