I recently compiled version 1.94b on a 64-bit CENTOS 5 LINUX OS and have run into numerous "segmentation error" occasions The versions I installed using RPMs were 32-bit little endian running on a 64-bit OS.</div><div><br></div><div>I think that this is related to a 32-bit version of GRADS not working correctly in a 64-bit environment.</div><div><br></div><div>With more and more of us using 64-bit LINUX machines, a 64-bit version would be greatly welcomed by the GRADS community.
