Patrick, The only thing I can see is that you are using the Xvfb driver, which could for some reason or another be out of colors. This would be an easy thing to happen especially with the display of satellite images which require lots of colors- and presumably you aren't running ntl on your :1 display. But, I'm assuming from your earlier statements that the script also doesn't work if you use your console? Otherwise, verify that you don't have any old gf or xw displays to Xvfb still running. I have attatched my current gpfront tree tar file. The primary difference here from the 5.6.E.1 distribution you have if that I enabled the LUTFIL to be specified other than DEFAULT. You can place the tarfile gpfront.tar.Z in your $NAWIPS directory, and then unpack with: zcat gpfront.tar.Z | tar xvf - Then build with: cd $NAWIPS/unidata/programs/gpfront make clean make all make install make programs_gf make clean Steve Chiswell Unidata User Support On Tue, 5 Mar 2002, Clint Rowe wrote: > Patrick, > > There must be something strange in your script (e.g., a badly defined > variable).
