Re: Fatal error when reading gfs GRIB2 file

Hi Isla,

I've been asked to look into this.

We've been unable to reproduce this problem, so I'm going to need more
information. On first glance, it looks like while NCARG_ROOT might
be set correctly, could you have another environment variable
like NCARG_LIB or NCARG_NCARG set?

Can you answer the following questions:

  - Did you install NCL V5.1.1 from a precompiled binary or source code?

  - If you installed from a precompiled binary, which file did you download?

  - What does the following report on your system?

     uname -a
     ncargpath root
     ncargpath grib2_codetables

--Mary
