Re: Fwd: Ferret Installation problem on AIX 5.1

[Rebecca Fahey <faheyra@xxxxxxxx>]

Unfortunately, the 5.22 version is not acceptable to one of our users.  She 
has indicated that "With the current version that's on there (5.22), I 
can't get land to show up as white when I try to do a difference plot, or 
get continental boundaries to show up.  Both of those things were possible 
when I used version 4.91 on an SGI O2K in the past."  The user has 
requested that we install a non-beta version.  I don't know enough about 
the software to know if installing a new version will fix her problem.  I 
was just trying to satisfy her request and ran into trouble.  If anyone 
knows how to solve her original complaint, that would solve my problem as 
well.  Thanks.
