Re: Error while accessing RANGS, please respond

Hello Karin, and all

Thank you very much for the fast response XD. As you show in you directory.
I do have the same. My rangs are located in the same directory, and I have
even set en environment variable NCARG_RANGS to the location.

My environment variables in my .bashrc are :
export NCARG_ROOT=/usr/local/ncl-6.1.2
export NCARG_RANGS=/usr/local/ncl-6.1.2/lib/ncarg/database/rangs

And doing ll in my rangs directory I have the same:
alberto@alberto-ThinkPad-W520 /usr/local/ncl-6.1.2/lib/ncarg/database/rangs
$ ll
total 137644

As you can see , the only difference is the permission in the files, they
are read for all the other users. But since I am the only one as this is my
personal pc.

Thanks again for your response and the colour set up work this time XD.
HAve a nice evening
