[gradsusr] Unable to get IDX files.

It appears you're running grads on AIX (IBM). Unfortunately, binaries for AIX are not available for grads versions newer than the one you have (1.8). Do you have access to a Mac or Linux machine? If so, COLA provides grads binaries for the latest version at http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/downloads.html

Hi All. 
I had problem with creating the IDX files for grib2 files. 


This is the output of Q config. Following was the error. 

bash-3.2$ gribmap -i temp.ctl 
Open Error: Data file type invalid 
--> The invalid description file record is: 
--> dtype grib2 

The data file was not opened. 
File name is: temp.ctl 
bash-3.2$
