WIN GRADS 2.0.a7.oga.3 - Possible Bug

[Mark Sponsler]

Hi Arlindo, 

I tried taking Grads completely out of the PATH using Control Panel>System>Advanced>Environmnet Variables>  so there is no instance of Grads present. 



Then  in the .bat file I use to start-up Grads, I configured it as follows: 


set PATH=c:\Program Files\OpenGrADS\Contents\Cygwin\Versions\2.0.a7.oga.2\i686;%PATH% 
set PATH=c:\Program Files\ImageMagick;%PATH% 
grads -blc 'test_script.gs' 



When I run the .bat file, grads run fine but imagemagick hangs 



Then if I reconfigure the batch file as follows (to point ot the Grads 1.9 installation) all works fine: 



set PATH=C:\Program Files\PCGrADS19\win32;%PATH% 
set PATH=c:\Program Files\ImageMagick;%PATH% 
grads -blc 'test_snow7.gs' 



I get the same results when I configure the PATH through the Control Panel (first pointing to 2.0.a7.oga.2 and then Grads 1.9)  



Next 

with no version of Grads specfiied in the Control Panel>....Environment Variables> 

and with a shortcut pointed to Grads 2.0, 



I start Grads 2.0 up and try 

! ls 

It hangs. 



I try the same thing with another shortcut pointed to Grads 1.9 

and I get a directory listing 


Hmmm 


Do you have any other testing scenario's I could try? 

Thanks, 
Mark

Hi Arlindo, 

Interesting..... 



If I start Grads then type in: 

! ls  <cr> 



Grads just hangs. No answer set is returned.  I presume a directory list should appear. But instead nothing.... 




Hmm... It works OK on my Windows platform. Anybody out there having similar problems on Windows? 


I wonder if your GrADS v1.9 installation is not conflicting with your GrADS v2. Do you explicitly set any GrADS environment (GADDIR, GASCRP, etc.)? Is the  v1.9 bin/ directory on your PATH? Did you use the .exe or .zip version of the superpack?
