4.2.2 and NCL error

Hello,

I have a question about an error using NCL under ncarg_4.2.2
vs. ncarg_4.1.1.

We have both ncarg_4.1.1 and ncarg_4.2.2 installed.
We also have NCAR Command Language Version 4.2.0.a009
and
             NCAR Command Language Version 4.2.0.a011
             
             

Currently, 4.1.1 is the default but I can use 4.2.2 by
sourcing a file (i.e. "source filename") that has the following

setenv NCARG_ROOT /opt/local/ncarg_4.2.2
setenv PATH $NCARG_ROOT/bin\:$PATH
if ($?MANPATH) then
    setenv MANPATH $NCARG_ROOT/man\:$MANPATH
else
    setenv MANPATH $NCARG_ROOT/man
endif

When my path is set to use NCARG 4.1.1, both
NCL 4.2.a009 and 4.2.a011 run without a probelm.

However, when my path is set to use NCARG 4.2.2
both versions of NCL print the following error message.

----------------------------------------------------------
warning:Unable to load System Resource File
/opt/local/ncarg_4.2.2/lib/ncarg/sysresf
warning:["Palette.c":1530]:NhlLoadColormapFiles: Invalid colormap directory:
/opt/locolormaps
----------------------------------------------------------

and scripts for plotting data do not plot data.

Further investigation reveals that the directories in

/opt/local/ncarg_4.1.1/lib/ncarg are

total 54 2 fontcaps/ 2 ndv_help/ 2 sysappres/
   4 colormaps/ 2 graphcaps/ 2 ngwww/ 2 sysresfile
   2 data/ 2 hluex/ 2 plot_styles/ 2 tests/
   2 database/ 2 ncargsite 2 resfiles/ 6 tutorial/
  12 examples/ 2 nclex/ 2 robj/ 2 xapp/

while the directories in /opt/local/ncarg_4.2.2/lib/ncarg are

total 32 2 fontcaps/ 2 robj/ 2 xapp/
   2 database/ 2 graphcaps/ 2 tests/
  12 examples/ 2 ngwww/ 6 tutorial/

And, as the error message shows, the file sysresfile is not in
this directory.

So, should /opt/local/ncarg_4.2.2/lib/ncarg contain
the file sysresfile (suggesting an improper installation)
or is NCL 4.2.a011 not able to use the NCARG 4.2.2 libs?

I have talked with the local installer of NCARG and
we can't seem to come up with a solution.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jan
