Re: errors gotten from cygwin system

I had a similar problem, which the new ncl_new.exe file fixed. I had
just installed NCL on my PC via Cygwin, and everything seemed to go ok.
The test example xy04n.ncl ran fine. However, I was unable to run
example scripts that included any of the gsn_csm_map functions. I
received a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" error message. Other
example scripts (without gsn_csm_map) were successful, though. The new
ncl_new.exe solves this problem.

Dear Yin,

I don't believe I've seen this error before. It's suspicious that
"xy04n.ncl" works one time, and not another. This sounds like
a system problem.

Before we start debugging this, can you try downloading an improved
"ncl" binary for your system? To get the file:

       ftp ftp.ucar.edu
       <log in as "anonymous">
       <Use email address as password>
       cd /pub/scd/haley
       get ncl_new.exe.gz
       quit

Once you have the file, gunzip it, make sure it is executable, and
move it to $NCARG_ROOT/bin:

       gunzip ncl_new_exe.gz
       chmod gou+x ncl_new.exe
       mv ncl_new.exe $NCARG_ROOT/bin/.

Now you can use this new NCL executable instead of the one already
installed on your system:

       ncl_new.exe your_script.ncl

If you are comfortable that this executable works, you can replace
your old ncl executable with this new one. You should first make a
copy of your old one:

      mv $NCARG_ROOT/bin/ncl.exe $NCARG_ROOT/bin/ncl_old.exe
      mv ncl_new.exe $NCARG_ROOT/bin/ncl.exe

I have reinstall my cygwin system, the "ncl xy04n.ncl" can work well.
When I try to run a ncl script such as "wrf_PressureLevel1.ncl
", gotten from
http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/OnLineTutorial/Graphics/NCL/Examples/LEVELS_
INTERP/wrf_PressureLevel.htm, the error redisplayed.
I thought that maybe the "wrf_PressureLevel1.ncl" is wrong. However,
when I attempt to run "ncl xy04n.ncl" again, I failed. The error was the
same as above mentioned.

        Thanks
