ZMAW Setup

For Debian Etch IA32 machines the following variables have to be set (beware, I'm using the bash syntax here):

export PATH=/sw/etch-ia32/python-2.4.4/bin/:$PATH
export PYTHONPATH=/sw/etch-ia32/python-2.4.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/
export PYNGL_NCARG=/sw/etch-ia32/python-2.4.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PyNGL/ncarg/

For Debian Etch x64 (e.g. fastice, seaice) the values have to be set to

export PATH=/sw/etch-x64/python-2.4.4/bin/:$PATH
export PYTHONPATH=/sw/etch-x64/python-2.4.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/
export PYNGL_NCARG=/sw/etch-x64/python-2.4.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PyNGL/ncarg/
