Re: Fatal error when reading gfs GRIB2 file

We got the file. Other than a variable not being in the 5.1.1 table, we can
read the file with no problem.

Can you pls send (offline) the output from

%> uname -a

%> gcc --version
=====================================================

%> ncl_filedump fh.0000_tl.press_gr.1p0deg.grb

or, after looking at the original ncl_filedump, the '-v' option was set to
the variable.

%> ncl_filedump -v VAR_2_3_203_P0_L1_GLL0 fh.0000_tl.press_gr.1p0deg.grb
| less
