[gradsusr] Problem creating Meteograms for specific locations in Malawi

Fri Jun 26 14:14:30 EDT 2015

I really dont understand where I am missing it.
This is the new error after I tried to follow your instruction;

*Command line history in \Users\vanya/.grads.log*

*ga-> run meteogram_subset_GDS.gs 2015062600 35.62 -16.07*

*GX Package Initialization: Size = 11 8.5*

*Command line history in \Users\vanya/.grads.log*

*ga-> *run meteogram_subset_GDS.gs 2015062600 35.62 -16.07

*      2 [main] sh 244
C:\OpenGrADS\Contents\Cygwin\Versions\2.0.2.oga.2\bin\sh.e*

*xe: *** fatal error - cygheap base mismatch detected -
0x61242860/0x61239790.*

*This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin
DLL.*

*Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility*

*and delete all but the most recent version.  The most recent version
*should**

*reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have*

*installed the cygwin distribution.  Rebooting is also suggested if you*

*are unable to find another cygwin DLL.*

*Working on mysubset.dat*

Then I dis this to see whether I have *cygwin1.dll *which I saw is
available.
What should I do from here? By the way, I am doing it in windows and not
linux or other operating system.
