Hi,<br><br>I have a problem getting GRADS 1.9 running on my OS X 10.5 machine.<br>I first downloaded the pre-compiled darwin version from the website and everything is running (incl. netcdf),<br>however, on the starting screen GRADS states "big endian". The OSX 10.5 is small endian to my knowledge. I used the big endian grads version<br>
on some data files and everything seems working. Should I be concerned that some data might be wrong because I am using a big endian software on a small endian machine?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This is probably a powerpc binary. I would not worry about it (much). Just make sure that binary files have .ctl that explicitly states the endianess of the file through the OPTIONS keywork.</div>
<div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I also tried compiling the source files, however I can only get gradsc compiled and not netcdf, opendap etc, even though the libraries are in the standard directories.<br>
