Hi, I have some problem to make IDV generate figures using data from Catalogs. IDV works fine with the rest of the examples in the "Getting Started" section though. The detail of the hardware and software is provided as the following. OS: Scientific Linux with latest security updates CPU: Intel Pentium 3GHz RAM: 1GB Video: Intel (82)945G with i810 driver IDV version: 1.3b2 (precompiled binary) The only Java installed in the one that came with the IDV binary. What I have done is, in the Data Source Chooser, I added the source, IDV Catalogs -> Model Data -> Unidata IDD Model Data (netCDF) -> ncep nam 80km... -> Latest NCEP NAM 80km CONUS model data. Then in the Field Selector, I chose 3D grid -> Pressure vertical velocity at isobaric levels -> Plan Views -> Contour Plan View -> Create Display. In really rare cases, the plan view could be generated. Most of the time, IDV just kept running, but no output was produced. Neither CPU nor RAM was exhausted. I have tried to install IDV on another machine that runs Red Hat EL4, and the same problem persisted. Double-checking on a windows machine, IDV worked just fine. Any help would be appreciated.
