Re: [ncarg-talk] running idt under cygwin

Mary,

        Based on your comments, I remember now that my solution in the past was to use the pre-compiled binaries for idt and ictrans because I was unable to get them to build properly. I downloaded the precompiled binaries and tried them, but I get the same behavior. This is starting to look like a CYGWIN problem. How up-to-date is your CYGWIN installation? I assume that you are not experiencing the same problem. Any suggestions at this point?

        ictrans works just fine. ctrans works but hangs when I get to the end of the gmeta file and I have to kill the process in another window.

        While I have your attention, I have also noticed that when I moved from a single-core PC to a dual core that every so often, the build of ncarg will hang at different places in the build process. Have you encountered this problem before? I never had the problem on a single-core machine.

Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,

I haven't seen this problem, but then, I'm still using g77 under
Cygwin.
I think I had too many problems with gfortran.

One thing you could try is to just rebuild "idt" and "ictrans" with
g77/gcc V3.x and see if this makes a difference.

Also, you could try downloading the precompiled Cygwin
binary just for the "idt" and "ictrans" binaries and try them out.

"ictrans" is used by "idt"; that's why they are mentioned together.

Are you able to run ictrans, by any chance?

ictrans gmeta
ictrans> 1p
ictrans> quit
