Failure to use grdimage to plot earth_day image

[gacarlson]

Hello all- I am having trouble making grdimage work for me. I attempted to execute the following one-liner:

$ gmt grdimage @earth_day_30m -Rg -JW-65/15c -B -png map -Vd

and received the following debug message:

The only thing that looks out of the ordinary is this error:

gmt.exe [DEBUG]: Failed to release lock (Error <158>: The segment is already unlocked.

I have not seen that before. But as you said the TIF file downloaded safely and is there, but looks like grdimage simply quit at the end there since no more messages. Pinging @joa-quim as our Windows guy to see if he has any thoughts of what could go wrong with your system (since it works for others it is related to something on your system).

[joa-quim]

Hmm, if I delete the one I already had I also see that message but it works at the end

grdimage [INFORMATION]: Downloading file http://oceania.generic-mapping-tools.org/server/earth/earth_day/earth_day_30m_p.tif ...
grdimage [DEBUG]: Failed to release lock (Error <158>: The segment is already unlocked.
)
grdimage [DEBUG]: Delete C:\TEMP/earth_day_30m_p.tif.download
grdimage [DEBUG]: Replace file @earth_day_30m_p.tif with c:/j/.gmt/server/earth/earth_day/earth_day_30m_p.tif
grdimage [DEBUG]: Projected grid is non-orthogonal, nonlinear, or dpi was changed

But I notice that you are using the GMT 32 bits. Any reason for that? The 32 bits version is much less tested and we will drop it one of these days.

[PaulWessel]

I am sure the lock/unlock probably works differently under Windows than Unix. Not tested by me. Please install the 64-bit version (and if that works let's eliminate the 32...)

[Esteban82]

Is it possible to see how many people download gmt-6.4.0-win32.exe?

[gacarlson]

That was definitely the issue. It works now with the 64-bit version

[PaulWessel]

Great, probably something to do with 32-bit vs 64-bit system functions.

[gacarlson]

And thank you all for the help solving this!

[Esteban82]

I think that this can be close (altough the issue wasn't solve).
