[FLASH-USERS] 1. why gray scale only on my optiquest with redhat9.0 idl6.0se? 2. is setting a fixed IP for each networked computer first thing to use an mpirun cluster?

Dear Flash users,

Dunno if you've come across my 1st question:
I can see only gray scale display on my redhat9.0
using idl while at the college computer (a 14" legacy
monitor
running redhat8.0 and idl6.0se automatically sees
color images!)

2nd Question: I'm about to cluster at least two
computers together, and I'm thinking to set an extra
network card a fixed IP so with rsh or ssh I can run
mpirun across them.
I have already set mpich-1.2.5.2 libraries on both
computers.
However, I'm thinking I need to set an environment
variable to show the paths of these mpich library dir
locations.
Do you know of which env variable to set for this
purpose?

Many Thanks!
Bst,
Victor

P.S. I can now see the Kelvin Helmholtz turbulence
using the windtunnel example but I need to set lrefine
<4 to avoid automatic abort.
Do you think that adding 512M RAM to my current 512M
Ram would let me run at lrefine=4 on a single machine?
