Hey there Sarah:<div><br></div><div>I successfully installed GRADS 1.9b4 and 1.8 versions on my MAC OS X 10.4 Tiger. Just download the pre-compiled exec folder (binaries + .o files) onto your desktop and you should be set. Download at <a href="http://www.iges.org/grads/downloads.html">http://www.iges.org/grads/downloads.html</a> : the darwin (full) 1.9b4. </div>
<div>If use some numerical models (such as WRF), the previous version of grads could behave funky so I'd recommend the newer one.</div><div><br></div><div>I added the following variable into my bash script:</div><div>
<br></div><div><div>set FONTCAP fontl</div><div>set GRAPHCAP t4010</div><div><div>#set GAUDFT /Users/alexandrefierro/grads-1.8sl11/udf/regrid2/udft.regrid2</div><div>#set GASCRP /Users/alexandrefierro/gradsdata</div><div>
set GADDIR /Users/alexandrefierro/gradsdata</div><div>alias grads='/Users/alexandrefierro/Desktop/grads-1.9b4/bin/gradsnc'<br></div><div><br></div><div>Make sure you open X11 before running grads</div><div><br></div>
<div>Then you should be set,</div><div><br></div><div>One of the main problems in grads is that one cannot dump output into a *.txt file without a single command, which I hope one day they will include. That would avoid one having to write a fortran program to convert the binaries into .txt.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Alex-</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 21, 2008 at 10:05 AM, Sarah Chan <<a href="mailto:schan.lists@gmail.com">schan.lists@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>
