The NCARG_ROOT environment variable is only part of the installation issue.
The other is your PATH. A default install in /opt/ncarg means that
/opt/ncarg/bin
should be added to your path. Or you can set an alias for ncl pointing
it to /opt/ncarg/bin/ncl

If you start the scripts from your interactive shell, they should inherit
your environment variables.
