Hi,

Today I installed SeaDAS 6.3 on my macbook pro with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 on it. I followed the Online Auto-Installation option and I have IDL installed with full license. When I run seadas I get this message (and the SeaDAS GUI doesn't show up):

I appreciate your help!

SeaDAS is a 32-bit app, so you have to arrange to have IDL start in 32-bit mode.  Several ways to do that have been discussed in these forums -- hopefully one of them will suit your needs.

Thanks George. I followed your earlier post http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/forum/oceancolor/topic_show.pl?pid=18346;hl=bit#pid18346 and the problem is now solved.

Have a good weekend!

Hi George,

On the same computer, I am not able to display or process any file. If I want to display any file, the bands don't show up. If I want to process a L1B file to L2, it does nothing. For example, I tried processing a MERIS L1B file to L2, and I received this error message:

What would be your suggestion?

Hi Sean, I replaced the OCSSW_bash.env file and it worked. Thanks for directing me to the right place.
