> > Dear Steve, > > Just to clarify below, garp does work (does not crash when hitting > clear, reset) on the new Solaris10 with the binary 5.9.3 install. It is > just my new Linux Fedora5 boxes having problems, which is not good for the > new weather lab and classes starting next week. I am using the same > datatype.tbl and garp defaults for both Solaris and Linux. The Linux has > 2Gb of RAM and I increased the limits to unlimited, in case that was an > issue. > > Brian > Brian, The error you sent previously indicates that the problem lies within a call to the X library. Do you know if you are using the Xorg server/libraries on your FC5 boxes?
