<br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-2022-jp"<br><br>Muhammad<br><br>It looks like you have two different installation directories: /home/Hasan/supplibs and /root/supplibs.<br><br>My suggestion is to use the --prefix option when you configure; then, when you do a 'make install' the binaries will go into the directory designated by the prefix. No hand copying is required.<br>
<br>As the Hasan user (not root) do the following<br>./configure --prefix=/home/Hasan/supplibs<br>make<br>make install<br><br>for the other packages they will require LIBS to be set to the find your libraries; and, for grads it will require the SUPPLIBS to be set to the directory where the supplibs are located.<br>

<br>Hi dear fellows,<br> I am using the GrADS version 2.0.a9 and I wish to install supplemental libraries from <a href="http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/supplibs.html" target="_blank">http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/supplibs.html</a>. I followed each and every step as mentioned there.<br>
My laptop system supports i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux. I want to convert my data into GRIB2 format by using GrADS. For this purpose, i want to use g2clib 1.1.8. Before installing it, it is necessary to install some other libs like zlib and libpng. I successfully installed the zlib but when i tried to install libpng following eror message occurred:<br>
<br><br>checking for zlibVersion in -lz... no<br><br>configure: error: zlib not installed<br><br>While i had already installed zlib as shown from the following messages:<br><br>[root@localhost zlib]# make<br><br>gcc -O3 -DUSE_MMAP -c -o example.o example.c<br>
