<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>See below for details as requested. I have not
not tried the pre-compiled versions of supplibs. Actually, I have been
working in a windows test environment with grads 1.8 and gradsdods/lats4d.
When I wanted to deploy, I downloaded grads-bin-1.8sl11-linux.tar.gz which
gave me segmentation faults when trying to do sdfopen. A little homework in
the userlist archives indicated that 1.9 is more stable and I decided to
build from source thinking this would be the way to go to avoid
problems.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>One would think so, but with all the dependencies and
platforms building is always full of surprises. If you don't mind
using binaries that someone else compiled, here is what I'd suggest:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1) If the i686 grads b1.9.0-rc1 binaries work for you I'd stick with
that. (The fact that the 1.8SL11 coredumps is because it was built with a very
old version of g++/glibc, usually the main cause of binary
incompatibility.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2) If 1) fails, then I'd do a semi-binary approach: binary supplibs,
grads from sources, A couple of users had to resort to this because of a
glibc incompatibility. The supplibs are all compiled statically, so they are
pretty reusable across distributuons with gcc 3 and newer. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3) and if 1)/2) fails I'd try both supplibs/grads from sources. I am yet
to hear from someone that had to to this because 2 failed. It could happen,
though.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Let me know what you would like to do. If you would like to stick with 3)
then I'll devise a strategy to debug the supplibs build on Suse 10.3.</DIV>
