gsn_csm.ncl script problems.

Hi NCL-talk,
I am trying to run the script found at:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/Scripts/WRF_me_5.ncl
to make a vertical cross section using a wrfout-file in mercator projection.
The problem is that I get a bunch of errors when the script tries to read
the gsn_csm.ncl script.
The error message looks like this:

fatal:syntax error: procedure gsnp_point_tickmarks_outward expects 8
arguments, got 9
fatal:Syntax Error in block, block not executed
fatal:syntax error: line 3956 in file gsn_csm.ncl before or near \n

I read in a thread at the forum that one is supposed to use the load
commands:
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl"

, but I don't have these libraries so I am using a copy of gsn_csm.ncl
script located in the directory where I run NCL (WRF_NCL). Should this
matter?

I have tried to remove everything in my script exept from the "load"
lines, but I still get the same error message.. It dissapears only if I
remove the gsn_csm.ncl script, but then of course I cannot do what I want
to do ;)

Do I perhaps need a new/other gsn_csm.ncl script?
Does anyone have an idea of what to do?
Thanks for your help!
/Erik
