I have several installation of GrADS and OpenGrADS. On the OpenGrADS machines it default to that, so I just tried it on a machine with only GrADS, but the same result. I downloaded the binary for Linux, so there was no compilation. It is encouraging to note that the tutorial works. As I said, I am just trying to verify my install before I turn it over to the user.
