[gradsusr] Upgrading GrADS in Fedora

[gibies george]

Thank you Patrice for your reply.



I have newly installed Opengrads (version: grads-2.0.a7.oga.3) in my pc (OS
is Fedora 10) at the directory "*/opt/opengrads/Contents*". I have **put
this installation directory in the path by giving *export
PATH=/opt/opengrads/Contents:$PATH* in *.bashrc* file.

When I try to run the executable, I get the following error message.

[gibies at gibies ~]$ grads
grads: missing required directory
 </opt/opengrads/Contents/Linux/x86_64>
     --->  at /opt/opengrads/Contents/grads line 155.

[gibies at gibies ~]$ opengrads
opengrads: missing required directory
 </opt/opengrads/Contents/Linux/x86_64>
     --->  at /opt/opengrads/Contents/opengrads line 155.

How can I rectify the problem ?

Thanking you in advance.
