Assist Newbie to ncl

Assistance will be appreciated for my very very beginner's question. I am new to
ncl. I work on a linux system (fedora), i am able to test ncl
and it is ok. I tried a script for plotting a bsic wind rose (I renamed it
rose_11.ncl),
when I run it, it plots cocentric circles and gives error (PLCHHQ - character
Number 16, 17 18 19 is not a legal function code )several times as below.
When I run rose_3 (which I renamed rose_31.ncl) nothing is plotted but I get
similar error to the one for windrose_basic.
I tried to peruse the ncl documentation but do not see what could be wrong.
Sorry for bothering with all the output below
