<div><br></div><div> Now, when you start a version of grads cygwin sets aside a chunk of shared memory for the POSIX emulation. Since v1.9 and v2.0 uses different versions o cygwin, running both versions without an intervening reboot could cause problems as these shared memory chunks could be inconsistent. So, in the machine where you are having problems, do a reboot and then try running v2.0 without having run v1.9. Any luck?</div>

<p>Another finding:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have both the 1.9 and the 2.0 Grads installtions on 2 different flash drives.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I went to a computer that has never had Grads installed, plugged in the 1.9 flash drive and fired up grads, then ran</p>
<p>! ls </p>
<p>and sucessfully received a directory listing. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Did the same thing with the Grads 2.0 flash drive (on the same computer) and also received a directory liating.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To me that suggests that indeed there is some sort of conflict occurring on the machine that has previous grads installations. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I went back to the machine that is having problems and pulled wgrib out of the path too (along with all grads path variables). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Plugged in the 1.9 flashdrive and got a Directory list, but still no luck with the 2.0 flash drive.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also have version 1.8 installed on that machine and am thinking that maybe when I installed it I used the installer version instead of the zip installtion, and that maybe some remnants are still lurking in the registry that might be causing a conflict. That's purely a guess though. Not even sure that would make a difference. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any other suggestions? <br><br></p><div class="im">

<p>Hi Arlindo,</p>
<p>Interesting.....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If I start Grads then type in: </p>
<p>! ls <cr></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Grads just hangs. No answer set is returned. I presume a directory list should appear. But instead nothing....</p>

<div>Hmm... It works OK on my Windows platform. Anybody out there having similar problems on Windows?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I wonder if your GrADS v1.9 installation is not conflicting with your GrADS v2. Do you explicitly set any GrADS environment (GADDIR, GASCRP, etc.)? Is the v1.9 bin/ directory on your PATH? Did you use the .exe or .zip version of the superpack? </div>
