I normally run GRADS in a Linux environment, but am working with<br>

My problem is that I can't seem to get gribmap to run on XP.<br>
hen I issue the command I don't get any output (including when<br>
running in verbose mode) and the .idx file is not created. I have<br>
tried several of the "backward compatability" options for the<br>
gribmap executable but still no luck. Any suggestions?<br></blockquote><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Why don't you try a more recent build? My latest is the v1.9.0-rc1 available on <a href="http://sf.net">sf.net</a>:</div>
