Ka Kit, Gempak requires the X display to be running the default visual id in 8 bit pseudocolor mode. You should be able to see if this is the case using the xdpyinfo command to that display. If you are using a truecolor visual for that default display, you will have to reconfigure it. An example of a previous message dealing with this same issue is shown at: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpse/gempak/3373 http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpse/gempak/3369 Steve Chiswell Unidata User Support >From: "Ka Kit Lai" <address@hidden> >Organization: . >Keywords: 200003012044.NAA28759 >Steve: > I have another question regarding gempak.
