Brian, It probably didn't give any error messages, huh? I just tried the binary gribtonc that I sent you on a avn-q.wmo (raw) file, it worked just fine. I think you might have a point about the other packages involved. Did you go back and recompile them again setting CC, ie % setenv CC gcc Remember you need to do a "make distclean" for all the packages, configure, make, etc Maybe you should try to run it in the debugger gdb. Also, have you tried to run gribtonc on some other models? Is you machine a standard linux setup? Robb... On Mon, 7 Apr 2003, HOETH, BRIAN R. (JSC-ZS) (LM) wrote:
Robb, Thanks! I picked it up and ran gribtonc again and I still had a core dump? Maybe the udunits, netcdf, and netcdf-perl installations didn't go as well as I thought? I don't really know though because like I said, I picked up the binary distributions of udunits and netcdf ... the only one I had to build was netcdf-perl because there's no netcdf-perl binary. Well, thanks for all your help Robb, sorry things aren't working out for me?
