Problem running GrADS on Ubuntu 9.10

[varun murthy]

Hello all,
 I am a beginner, learning to use GrADS. I installed GrADS 2.0 on Ubuntu
9.04 and tried out the tutorial available online (
http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/tutorial.html) and everything worked out
fine.

 I upgraded my Ubuntu installation to 9.10 and repeated the installation
(place the tar file in /usr/local/bin and extract) using the same tar.gz
file. But when I ran the display command after running grads, the graphic
display window remains blank.

Terminal output :
*ga-> d p  (Where p is one of the variables, defined in the control file)
Contouring: 0 to 0.0008 interval 0.0001*
but graphic display window remains blank.

Is GrADS not supported for Ubuntu 9.10? Or are there any libraries that need
to be installed before GrADS can be run?

*Version Details:*
1) Version of GrADS : GrADS 2.0.a7.1
2) OS : Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit
3) GrADS "q config" output:
*ga-> q config
Config: v2.0.a7 little-endian readline printim grib2 netcdf hdf4-sds hdf5
