Subject: [gradsusr] Can't open .nc file in Grads in Linux machine!<br>
<br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
I installed Grads in Linux - Ununtu version, using the following command:<br>
"sudo apt-get install grads" . And then, to find out where the Grads has<br>
been installed in Linux, in terminal I typed: "whereis grads", then the<br>
Grads directory appeared something like this: "usr/share... etc.". I copied<br>
the grads into my home directory. And then, typed "grads" in terminal and<br>
grads opened. Next, I did "!ls" and the following data were shown:<br>
*************************************************<br>
ga-> !ls<br>
grads <a href="http://hgt.nc/" target="_blank">hgt.nc</a> <a href="http://slp.nc/" target="_blank">slp.nc</a> <a href="http://air.nc/" target="_blank">air.nc</a> and other things...<br>
ga-><br>
*********************************<br>
And I wanted to open a NetCDF file, say: <a href="http://hgt.nc/" target="_blank">hgt.nc</a>. Therefore, I typed "sdfopen<br>
<a href="http://hgt.nc/" target="_blank">hgt.nc</a> ", but the following error appeared: (that's interesting to know<br>
that, when I typed sdfopen hg...., I hit the Tab, and the rest of the text<br>
appeared automatically):<br>

As you see, none of them opened! Wondering why? Does anyone know what's<br>
going wrong? And what should I do to open a NetCDF (.nc) file in Grads in<br>
Linux machine?<br>
