Hello all,<br> I am a beginner, learning to use GrADS. I installed GrADS 2.0 on Ubuntu 9.04 and tried out the tutorial available online (<a href="http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/tutorial.html">http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/tutorial.html</a>) and everything worked out fine. <br>
<br> I upgraded my Ubuntu installation to 9.10 and repeated the installation (place the tar file in /usr/local/bin and extract) using the same tar.gz file. But when I ran the display command after running grads, the graphic display window remains blank.<br>
<br>Terminal output : <br><i>ga-> d p (Where p is one of the variables, defined in the control file)<br>Contouring: 0 to 0.0008 interval 0.0001</i><br>but graphic display window remains blank.<br><br>Is GrADS not supported for Ubuntu 9.10? Or are there any libraries that need to be installed before GrADS can be run?<br>
<br><b>Version Details:</b><br>1) Version of GrADS : GrADS 2.0.a7.1<br>2) OS : Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit<br>3) GrADS "q config" output:<br><i>ga-> q config<br>Config: v2.0.a7 little-endian readline printim grib2 netcdf hdf4-sds hdf5 geotiff<br>
