Hi Matias,

Thank you for sending the VGF file along with your message.  

I was able to plot it without error in GPMAP using the following inputs:

 MAP      = 1
 MSCALE   = 0
 GAREA    = brazil
 PROJ     = mer
 SATFIL   =  
 RADFIL   =  
 IMCBAR   = 1
 LATLON   = 0
 PANEL    = 0
 TITLE    =  
 TEXT     = 1.2/23/1/hw
 CLEAR    = y
 DEVICE   = xw
 LUTFIL   = default
 STNPLT   =  
 VGFILE   = ana_sup_2013121918.vgf

and it looks like the attached gif file, for reference.


Now, as for the segmentation fault, I can't tell you what caused it without a 
stack trace on the core file, as long as GEMPAK was built with debugging 
enabled.

To catch the seg fault in a core file:

1) in a shell type "limit coredumpsize unlimited"
2) run GPMAP as you did before
3) after seg fault you should see a file "core.$$$" where $$$ is the process ID.
4) upload the core file to 
http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/alias/gempakuploads/

after that I will take a look.  if debugging is enabled then we should know 
soon what the cause is.  if debugging is not enable we may have to re-build 
GPMAP and try again, which I can help you with, but let's try grabbing a core 
file first.
