Hi Mary,
Finally I have figure out the problem. It is not related to the ncl
Environmental variable path instead the problem is related to memory
allocation. Fortunately I have the luxury to use couple of HPC
cluster. By switching from the 16 Gb RAM/node (Cores/Node 8 (16
threads)) machine (SciNet, University of Toronto) to SHARCNET (A HPC
consortium of Ontario's University) machine of RAM 48Gb/node with
similar number of core/node.
It gives the same result when I use following path
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
Thanks to all of you for your kind cooperation.
Thanks
Kamal
