That's why I asked you to type:

  env | grep NCARG

If you have any environment variables like NCARG_NCARG set to /usr/share/ncarg, then that's your problem.

You need to make sure that the only thing you have set is NCARG_ROOT. It looks like you probably have this set correctly (should be ~/local/ncarg).

The /usr/share/ncarg path is from a Linux disitrbution of NCL that somebody else created, and I think it sets NCARG_NCARG for you.
