I think it has to do with how the path to the colormaps are getting set
in my environment. When I run this command it just lists my working
directory. But when my colleague does it lists a directory under
$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/colormaps/.

They are there.

The odd thing is that it seems to be. Otherwise "which ncl" points back to

$NCARG_ROOT/bin/ncl.
