<P><SPAN>It all unpacked fine and i have the grads programs in the location <EM>/usr/local/bin/grads-2.0.a7.1/bin/</EM></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>And the libraries in <EM>/usr/local/lib/grads/</EM></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN></SPAN> </P>
<P><SPAN>I am running everything from a command line, i.e. no desktop GUI or anything, so when I got to run GrADS by typing <EM>grads</EM> it comes up with the error "<EM>Floating Point Exception</EM>"</SPAN></P>
<P> </P>
<P>I have also tried typing <EM>grads -b</EM> to prevent a window popping up, as I am just using a command line but this doesn't work either.<BR></P>
<P>My system is i686 -pc -linux -gnu</P>

<P>Hope someone can help!</P>
