Dear Ms. Smith,
There could be a couple of things wrong. First, make sure that your
NCARG_ROOT environment variable is set correctly. Perhaps you need to
set it in your Perl script. It needs to be set to the parent directory
of where NCAR Graphics is installed on your system. For example, if
you installed NCAR Graphics to /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib,
/usr/local/include, etc, then NCARG_ROOT should be set to /usr/local.
Also, you need to make sure that you are *not* setting NCARG_LIB
incorrectly. It shouldn't be set at all, unless you installed the
libraries in some directory other than $NCARG_ROOT/lib.
If your NCARG_ROOT seems to be correct, then it's possible that the
Plotchar database, which is a database of various fonts, has either
been trashed, or is not readable by you.
If you type:
ls -l $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/database
You should see something like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 haley gp 239286 Mar 28 07:22 Earth..1.areas
-rw-r--r-- 1 haley gp 743392 Mar 28 07:22 Earth..1.lines
.
.
.
-rw-r--r-- 1 haley gp 37640 Mar 28 07:22 PlotcharData
If you don't see "PlotcharData", or it doesn't have "r" permissions,
then this may be your problem. In this case, you should check with
your system administrator about the installation of NCAR Graphics on
your system.
