Re: why isn't this colormap accepted?

Hi James,

There could be a couple of things wrong here.

One is maybe your colormaps weren't installed with "read" permissions
for you. Do you have a sys admin that you can check with on this?

Second is maybe the colormaps weren't installed for some reason.

You can check the read permissions and whether the files were
installed by typing:

    ls -l `ncargpath colormaps`

You can further check if the "WhViBlGrYeOrReWh" color map is there:

      ls -l `ncargpath colormaps`/WhViBlGrYeOrReWh.*

You should see the files "WhViBlGrYeOrReWh.gp" and "WhViBlGrYeOrReWh.rgb".

If the "ncargpath" command files, then your NCARG_ROOT environment
variable may not be set correctly. It needs to be set to the root path
of where the NCL software is installed. For example "/usr/local" if
the software was installed to "/usr/local/bin", "/usr/local/include",
and "/usr/local/lib".
