Re: named colors

Mike,

This may be due to an incorrect setting for the $NCARG_ROOT environment variable.
NCL needs to be able to find the file

On the UNIX command line, what does the following report:

  ncargpath database
  ls `ncargpath database`
  which ncl
  ncl -V

In the directory reported by "ncargpath database", you should see the following files:

Earth..1.areas Earth..4.lines NhlMapData
Earth..1.lines Earth..4.names PlotcharData
Earth..1.names EzmapAreaInfo.CO ezmap_area_ids
Earth..2.areas EzmapAreaInfo.PO ezmapdata
Earth..2.lines EzmapAreaInfo.PS ftfonts/
Earth..2.names EzmapAreaInfo.US pwritdata
Earth..3.areas EzmapOutlines.CO ranfdata
Earth..3.lines EzmapOutlines.PO rgb.dir
Earth..3.names EzmapOutlines.PS rgb.pag
Earth..4.areas EzmapOutlines.US rgb.txt

The "rgb.txt" one is where it gets the color lookup from.
