Line plots seem to be broken for cuvilinear data

When i try to plot a time series of data from a curvilinear dataset (but not necessarily data in the curvilinear area, ie data south of 60N for the GFDL IPCC datasets), I get a Ferret error:

**ERROR: command syntax: SAMPLEXY_CURV_NRST(      wo[d=1,i=1:360, j=80:116,Z=5:5,T="01-Jan-1982 00:00:00":"01-Dec-2000 00:00:00"],      geolon[d=1,i=1:360, j=80:116],      geolat[d=1,i=1:360, j=80:116],      sample_xpts, sample_ypts)

This is at the [http://data1.gfdl.noaa.gov:8380/las/servlets/constrain?var=131 GFDL Data Portal LAS]. Actually, it appears the same error occurs if I try to do any sort of line plot in a curvilinear data set.

Now that I look at the error a little more closely, it appears that it's not finding a particular function. Is this an external function that should be installed as a .so? Or is this an internal ferret function that just hasn't migrated to the released Ferret version that I'm using?

Okay, looking at this EVEN close - it looks like misconfigured Ferret paths at GFDL, so I will fix those up and retest...
