Rick, and all:

Now, my environments are:
printenv NCARG_ROOT
/npoess/apps/IRIX64/ncarg/64 (V4.2.1)
printenv NCL_COMMAND
/npoess/apps/IRIX64/NCL-4.2-64/bin (V4.2.0).
When I ran wrf_tool and tried to produde graphics, error occurred.
See attached jpg.

BTW, I did not use NCL's new lib/ and include/ at all. I do not know
what those are for.

Alex

Thank you Rick, But, what about NCL's new lib/ and include/ files, some
of them have the same names as those of my current NCAR Graphics, but
are different? See C.h and ncargC.h, for example:

ll $NCARG_ROOT/include/ncarg (my current NCAR Graphics V4.2.1) total 320
-rw-r--r-- 1 8338 100 12520 Aug 23 2000 c.h

ll 32/include/ncarg/ (the NCL I downloaded) total 285
-rw-r--r-- 1 s119664 sp-lg-e1 12577 Jan 10 02:32 c.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 s119664 sp-lg-e1 50101 Jan 10 02:35 gks.h

drwxrwxr-x 2 s119664 sp-lg-e1 4096 Apr 19 19:52 ncl/

Let's say I'd like to install NCL under my $NCARG_ROOT. If I
over-write/replace my old files with the same names of NCL's, will this
cause any problem for my current NCAR Graphics? I am just worried and do
not want to mess up my current NCAR Graphics.
What do you suggest me to do?

Hi Alex,

> The instruction to install NCL in two sites are confusing me:
> http://wrfsi.noaa.gov/gui/faq_ncl/

These instructions are specific to the WRF group at NOAA, their site,
and their computing environment.

> http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/install.shtml#Gunzip

These are the default NCL installation instructions, per the NCL Team at
NCAR. They are not absolute, but rather an example on how you might
want to install the software. Locations noted in these instructions
(such as /usr/local as a value for $NCARG_ROOT) are only suggestions --
you may modify them as you wish, if you prefer a different root
installation directory. The location you choose will depend wholly on
policies and procedures established at your site, as the NCL
installation isn't dependent upon the installation location you choose.

It would be fine to install NCL under $NCARG_ROOT. The {bin, include,
lib} directories there are sufficient and will conform to the
instructions found on the NCL website.

Please remember that you must have permission to write to the directory
defined by $NCARG_ROOT.

-Rick.
