Hi Chiara,

I think you may have the wrong path for NCARG_RANGS. You set
it to:

   export NCARG_RANGS=$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/database/rangs

and NCARG_ROOT is:

  export NCARG_ROOT=/Users/chiara/Desktop/NCL/

This means that NCL is looking for the files in

   /Users/chiara/Desktop/NCL/lib/ncarg/database/rangs

You said the files were actually in:

~/Desktop/NCL/ncl_ncarg-5.0.0.MacOS_powerpc_8.10.0/lib/ncarg/database/rangs

So, you either need to move the files to the directory
"/Users/chiara/Desktop/NCL/lib/ncarg/database/rangs", or
else set NCARG_RANGS to

   /Users/chiara/Desktop/NCL/ncl_ncarg-5.0.0.MacOS_powerpc_8.10.0/lib/ncarg/database/rangs

If you do the former, then you won't need to set NCARG_RANGS, because
NCL by default will look in $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/database/rangs.
