Re: Using GMT 5 with GMT 4 installed

Hi Paul,

Yes I just found that :) However, it fails because it cannot find or understand "editpath" in the gmtswitch.bat file.

I edited the reference to v4 and 5 correctly in the file so that is all fine.

C:\Users\Lester>gmtswitch
Usage:
        To set GMT5 64 bits installed at C:\programs\GMT5\bin run  - this is the correct path
gmtswitch g5_64
        To set GMT5 32 bits installed at C:\programs\GMTdev\GMT5\WIN32\bin run -  N/A
gmtswitch g5_32
        To set GMT5 64 bits installed at C:\programs\GMT\bin run  - this is the correct path
gmtswitch g4_64
        To set GMT5 32 bits installed at C:\programs\GMT\GMT_win32\bin run - N/A
gmtswitch g4_32

C:\Users\Lester>gmtswitch g5_64

set path=C:\programs\gmt5\bin;%PATH%   -  seems to work, but the batch file would be handy to get working.

Cheers

The standard way of dealing with this is via gmtswitch.  See its man page on gmt.soest.hawaii.edu.-p

I have both GMT v4.5.9 and v5.1.0 installed. The paths are configured correctly in the environment variables, but invoking say grdinfo will always return the 4.5.9 version. Is there a way to configure things to access version 5, or does version 4 have to be removed?

GMT5_SHAREDIR=C:\programs\GMT5\share
GMT_SHAREDIR=C:\programs\GMT\share

PATH includes:  ........;C:\programs\GMT\bin;C:\programs\GMT5\bin;

Thanks

Lester
