[Opengrads-devel] Opengrads perl interface and grads2

[Diego M. V. <dv...@cl...>]

Hi *,
 Sorry for the newbie question, but is the perl interface compatible with
grads2? 

 I'm trying to install the perl interface in an Ubuntu 10.04, x86_64 linux.
I installed grads from the repositories (v2.0.a7.1), and downloaded
gerl-1.0.0 ( following the instructions in the wiki ). Everything goes right
untill the tests. Make test fails with:

Use of uninitialized value $got in split at
/home/paola/gerl-1.00/blib/lib/Grads.pm line 932.

So I installed anyway, and ran the tests one by one. The second one ( perl
t/gerl.t ) gives the following:

1..16
# Running under perl version 5.010001 for linux
# Current time local: Fri Jul 29 12:44:01 2011
# Current time GMT: Fri Jul 29 15:44:01 2011
# Using Test.pm version 1.25_02
ok 1
open2: exec of gradshdf -u -l -b failed at
/usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/Grads.pm line 146

 And that makes me think that it's assuming grads1 for, AFAIK, gradshdf is
not available by itself in grads2 (again, newbie here, please excuse). The
wiki says it needs version 1.9.0 or later.

 Maybe it is compatible but I am making a mess supposing grads from
repositories and opengrads are compatible/almost_the_same ? And BTW, am I
wrong thinking that having grads2 makes grads1 useless?

thanks in advance,
 -- Diego.
