Graphics: RIP - Environment Variables

RIP_ROOT

An important environment variable for the RIP system is RIP_ROOT.
RIP_ROOT should be assigned to the path name of the directory where all your RIP program and utility files (color.tbl, stationlist, lookup tables, etc.) reside.
For example (using csh):

setenv RIP_ROOT /my-path/RIP

The RIP_ROOT environment variable can also be overwritten with the variable rip_root in the RIP user input file (UIF).

 

NCARG_ROOT

A second environment variable you need to set is NCARG_ROOT.
For example (using csh):

setenv NCARG_ROOT /usr/local/ncarg   ! for NCARG V4
setenv NCARG_ROOT /usr/local/ncl     ! for NCL V5+

 

NETCDF

Make sure to set the NETCDF environment variable before attempting to configure or compile RIP.
For example (using csh):

setenv NETCDF /usr/local/netcdf
