PyNGL & PyNIO version error

hi,
I'm getting this msg from both Nio and Ngl today. The Nio error is
occurring in a cron script I've been running daily for many months.

I'm getting this error on a linux machine. Can I just comment out this
line to get around it?

Thanks,

Looks like a bug in PyNGL (it's trying to apply int to a numpy version
string with non-numeric chars in it). Perhaps it works on the macs
because the numpy version does not have 'rc3' in it?

How about using matplotlib/basemap for plotting (it's installed on batchb)?
