Respected Jennifer,

Thank you so much again.
I donot know about libintl.la. I am yet to get a reply from System team.

(1)==> Can I proceed without a proper 'gd'? I donot think, but still I tried to compile GrADS. I got:

Run 'make && make install' to build GrADS.

(3)  While making several of supplibs I use to get errors like:
Assembler:
/tmp//ccdu5H7V.s: line 14: 1252-191 Only .llong should be used for relocatable expressions.

The above was from 'ncurses'. How can I avoid this?

(4) > If I can get the deatils configure command files and setup from their that will help me.
I'm not sure what you mean by this. Have you seen http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/supplibs.html ?

I am taking help of the above link only while trying to build the supplibs. I feel in this link for tiff file the following two commands needs correction like others (the source file path for cp is not correct ?):

cp lib/libtiff.a $HOME/supplibs/lib/
cp ./include/*.h $HOME/supplibs/include/tiff 

I mean: In the last e-mail you had kindly mentioned "> I have a colleague who has built some of the supplibs on AIX, I will ask him if he has any secrets". So, I requested for your help in getting details building the libs and ultimately Grads-2 from him/her. If I can get the final GrADS-2 binaries that will be very good for me (if possible and if that will work here too!!)..

Sorry for long mails and bothering you.

With Thanks and Regards,
Mahakur

I can't reproduce this error…

I have no idea what this is about. What is libintl.la? Is it part of the libm.a? Perhaps you can ask the system administrator.

Building libdap is hard, because the library version is old and not always easy to compile with newer compilers.

If you got the library, forget about 'make check'. Don't make your life more difficult than it needs to be. It is highly unlikely that any of the stuff that is not working in the 'make check' protocol is used in GrADS.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Have you seen http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/supplibs.html ?

So perhaps you need to specify --without-Freetype (or similar syntax) when you invoke configure. I'm not entirely sure whether that will work, it's always a bit of a guessing game and AIX compilers are notoriously fussy and annoying. You do not need the Freetype interface in gd for GrADS. You could also try editing the config.h file after running configure to see if it has some flag in there regarding Freetype that you could change from a 1 to a 0…
