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