20020424: Gempak installation!



Dongyu,

Your error message:

>InitGempakColorMap:  Can't allocate Graphic colors.
>GarpInitialize:  GempakInit failed

is the result of Garp not being able to obtain colors.
You should always launch the GUI programs like garp from the
NTL program. Running ntl will set up the required shared
color map segment and ensure you have enough colors. If you do not have
enough colors, you can launch ntl with command line options to use fewer 
colors for GEMPAK.

You must be running your X display with the default visual as 8 bit pseudocolor.
You can verify your current X display settings using the "xdpyinfo" program.

When you launch ntl, and your default visual is 8 bit, then ntl
will provide a launcher bar for the GUIs- or, if you do not have enough colors,
it will tell you how many you have. The default settings use 95 colors for
satellite images. You can lower this to 32 colors by launching
NTL with "ntl -s 32". If you still have problems getting enough colors, then
close down any web browsers or file managers that use a lot of colors. 
Once ntl has launched, you can restart those applications.
