[Rnomads-user] rNOMADS 2.1.6 released

[Patrick King]

Hello Danny,

Thank you very much for your nomads work.  I have used it to extract GFS
data and plot cross-sections using RAOB. I enjoy looking at your balloon
work.  I was the forecaster for a research project studying stratospheric
ozone based in Saskatchewan in 1975 and the pictures bring back memories of
the ballon launches. We even had some go astray too.

I am migrating from a dual Linux/Windows system to a Macintosh and I cannot
get rNomads to work.  The problem seems to be in accessing wgrib2.

Here is a snippet from my bash terminal:

~/SCI/rNomads $ echo $PATH

/Users/pking/ ...   n:/usr/local/wgrib2:/usr/local/wgrib

~/SCI/rNomads $ wgrib2 fcst.grb

1:0:d=2015120900:TMP:800 mb:6 hour fcst:

2:131801:d=2015120900:RH:800 mb:6 hour fcst:

3:378897:d=2015120900:TMP:2 m above ground:6 hour fcst:

4:627907:d=2015120900:RH:2 m above ground:6 hour fcst:

~/SCI/rNomads $

So wgrib2 is on my path and it does find 'fcst.grb' downloaded by rNomads.
However rNomads can't find wgrib2 from within R:

[Workspace loaded from ~/SCI/rnomads/.RData]

> system("wgrib2")
sh: wgrib2: command not found
>

DO you have any idea where I should look now?

Thanks

Pat
