Dear Zablone, Rafael and other kind researchers,<br> I tried to follow your advice and tried to use the lats4d command but error message occurred "Command not found". Then I started to install different libraries from <a href="http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/supplibs.html">http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/supplibs.html</a> but when i installed the zlib by following the steps:<br>
cd $HOME/supplibs/src/<br>
tar xvfz ./tarfiles/zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz <br>
ln -sf zlib-1.2.3 zlib<br>
cd zlib<br>
./configure --prefix=$HOME/supplibs/src/zlib<br>
make<br>
make install<br>
cp ./lib/libz.a $HOME/supplibs/lib<br>
mkdir $HOME/supplibs/include/zlib<br>
cp ./include/zlib.h $HOME/supplibs/include/zlib<br><br>following output could be seen on my terminal of the linux fedora having version 2.0.a9 of grads after running the above mentioned commands:<br>[Hasan@localhost zlib]$ make<br>

cp ./include/libpng12/*.h $HOME/supplibs/include/libpng12<br><br>But after executing the configure command, i received following message that zlib had not been installed:<br><br>[Hasan@localhost libpng]$ ./configure --disable-shared --prefix=$HOME/supplibs/src/libpng<br>
