"ng4ex" is a c-shell script, and it uses $NCARG_ROOT to help it determine where to get the
example scripts and resource files.

However, you may have another environment variable like NCARG_LIB
or NCARG_NCARG that is conflicting with NCARG_ROOT. These
environment variables will override NCARG_ROOT if they are set.

What does the following report:

   ncl -V
  env | grep NCARG
  which ncl

It's possible you just need to make sure there are no other NCARG_XXXX environment variables set
other than NCARG_ROOT.

BTW, you are running an old version of NCL. The current version is 5.2.0, and we're about to release 5.2.1.
