Hello,<br>
I am trying to run GrADS on Windows XP with Cygwin. I downloaded grads-<br>
1.8sl11-xwin32.exe and am able to open GrADS so I see the display window<br>
and prompt. I am unable to open my data file though.<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br clear="all">Because Win32 is built with cygwin, the cygwin1.dll version it is bundled with GrADS has to match the version of the other Cygwin you have installed. Version 1.8sl11-xwin32.exe is more than 5 years old and it may be tricky to get it to work with a newer version of Cygwin. Here are my recommendations:<br>
<br>1) Install the most recent v1.9-rc1 Win32 Superpack from <a href="http://sf.net">sf.net</a><br><br> <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161773&package_id=270750">http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161773&package_id=270750</a><br>
<br> You can find some more info about this release here:<br><br> <a href="http://opengrads.org/wiki/index.php?title=Installing_GrADS_on_Microsoft_Windows">http://opengrads.org/wiki/index.php?title=Installing_GrADS_on_Microsoft_Windows</a><br>
<br>2) If you prefer to stay with v1.8, try deleting or renaming the "cygwin1.dll" that came with GrADS with the one in your cygwin release. Very important: *reboot* and start GrADS again.<br><br> Arlindo<br>
