RE: [ncl-talk] Ubuntu Linux: No plot in x11 window

I didn't have csh or tcsh installed, but when I installed them, I got the same results as before. I tried both the standard example and the other method you suggested involving ctrans.

Sean,

We're wondering if the problem might be that you don't have /bin/csh.

It seems odd that this would be a problem, but could you try installing
this, and then re-running the "ncl gsun01n.ncl" example?

The pdf workstation creates perfect images, so I know that I'm coding it correctly. A "blank white" x11 window pops up, and cycles normally when I click it, until all plots are "displayed", and then closes. I tried the command "xeyes" to make sure x11 was working properly, and it did it's normal thing. As a side note, I'm not using CYGWIN (though that installation on another PC works great), but Ubuntu Linux (version 7.10). Any ideas?
