Dear Russ,
Usually, when you get an error message from idt about the translator,
this means that it is having trouble running "ictrans". You need to
make sure that your NCARG_ROOT environment variable is set correctly.
Check with the person who installed NCAR Graphics on your system for
information on what to set NCARG_ROOT to. Secondly, you need to make
sure that $NCARG_ROOT/bin is on your search path so that it can find
ictrans. Type:
which ictrans
at the UNIX prompt to find out if the path to ictrans is on your
search path. "ictrans" should be in the same location as "idt", so if
your system is finding "idt" okay, it should also be finding "ictrans"
okay.
