Re: Problem with NCL

Hi, thanks for answering so quickly.
I'm trying to run it locally, I
haven't been having trouble with any kind of display software before
(ncview, etc).

By "DISPLAY" env. variable, do you mean the ones that
the installation guide tells you to set?

export DISPLAY=:0.0
export
DISPLAY=128.117.14.12:0
export DISPLAY=localhost:13.0

(Already did
that)

Thanks.

-Daniel.

The DISPLAY environment variable is not an NCL-related thing. It's an
environment variable that has to be set whenever you want to display
*any* X11 applications on your screen.
