zyGrib on the Asus eeePC
Posted: 07 Feb 2009 17:51
I am trying to install zyGrib to run on an Asus eeePC 900 Linux version:
Unfortunately, it seems older versions of library files provided on the Asus are unable to run the latest version of zyGrib and, having installed the debian version, the following error occurs
".. /libs/tls/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by ./zyGrib) .."
The 900 is supplied with GLIBC_2.3 and it is apparently dangerous to the rest of the system to install later versions.
To try to solve the problem, I am now trying to run zyGrib using the Windows version with Wine translation software. I have uncompressed all zyGrib files to a memory stick and can run zyGrib.exe perfectly on a windows PC. However, when I try to run the program on the Linux eeePC, the program loads WITHOUT any maps or button icons.
Can anyone explain how I get these to load?
All help very gratefully received .... I really want to get this superb software to run on my little eeePC!

To clarify my the earlier message, although the program loads without the world map or button icons being visible, it appears to work perfectly otherwise - so it is possible to download and view grib files but without the world map 'underlay' for positioning being visible.
One solutions might be for a menu option to allow one to choose folders in which to store downloads, base maps, etc, or for an .INI file to contain this information and to direct the program where to 'look' for the data.
It would be useful, perhaps, to store downloaded grib files in a folder separate from the main program directories (or on a separate drive) - data files can then be easily deleted oremptied without going near to the program files themselves.
Unfortunately, I am not competent to know if this is possible within the present program structure but perhaps someone will know of a solution?
