Problem running GrADS on Ubuntu 9.10

Thu Jan 7 09:22:14 EST 2010

Hi,
 I was partially able to solve the issue regarding the rendering of the
display window. The display is now rendered only when the display window is
not minimized when the "display" command is entered. However, when the
display window is minimized and then maximized ,it gets blanked out again.

 The ldd on grads is :
    linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb7fd9000)
    libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb7edb000)
    libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0xb7ea9000)
    libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xb7e82000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7d1f000)
    libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib/libxcb.so.1 (0xb7d05000)
    libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb7d01000)
    /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7fda000)
    libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 (0xb7cfd000)
    libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6 (0xb7cf7000)

When compared to the ldd from your system, this line is missing : "
libxcb-xlib.so.0
=> /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0 (0xb7ce0000) ". Am I missing a library?

Thanks and Regards,
 Varun.S.Murthy
