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

[Mark Sponsler]

Hi Arlindo, 

Another finding: 



I have both the 1.9 and the 2.0 Grads installtions on 2 different flash drives. 



I went to a computer that has never had Grads installed, plugged in the 1.9 flash drive and fired up grads, then ran 

! ls  

and sucessfully received a directory listing.  



Did the same thing with the Grads 2.0 flash drive (on the same computer) and also received a directory liating. 



To me that suggests that indeed there is some sort of conflict occurring on the machine that has previous grads installations. 



I went back to the machine that is having problems and pulled wgrib out of the path too (along with all grads path variables). 



Plugged in the 1.9 flashdrive and got a Directory list, but still no luck with the 2.0 flash drive. 



I also have version 1.8 installed on that machine and am thinking that maybe when I installed it I used the installer version instead of the zip installtion, and that maybe some remnants are still lurking in the registry that might be causing a conflict.  That's purely a guess though.  Not even sure that would make a difference.  



Any other suggestions?     


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?
