- Summary: errors in running giftoppm, ppmtopgm
- Keywords: gif giftoppm ppmtopgm mov clouds
-
- I am having some trouble getting the animation of
- satellite images to work. I have obtained the
- sun4 code "mov" from David Honig at ics.uci.edu
- (thank you David) as well as his script "clouds"
- to get the satellite images. Where I am having
- trouble is running the programs "giftoppm" and
- "ppmtopgm". When I try to run these programs I
- get the following error message:
-
- unknown relocation type 17Segmentation fault (core dumped)
-
- The man page is less than one page and provides
- no insights. I am running Openwindows on a Sparc IPX,
- using SunOS 4.1.3. We are not running X windows
- so I had to get the giftoppm and ppmtopgm executables
- from some X directories buried in our system.
-
- Any help would be appreciated,
-

- P.S. A further quirk of our system is that I do not have
- readnews access from my Stanford account. Please send
