Re: [las_users] Can't locate object method "getCategories"

Hi John,

I was actually running a Linux RedHat with Fedora Core 2.
What I call a long tag line is a line with a very long file name like
this one:
<clt_1m name="EP6: Cloud area fraction (Monthly)" units="\%" 
url="file:/home/glo_data/Europe/1950-1999/EP/EP6/clt_1m_195001_199912_EP6.nc#clt">

But the tag length does not seem cause of the error.

After this case, I noticed several cases of weird error messages when
using vector variables in conjunction with categories.
In some cases, I don't get any error messages but variables are
eventually not dispatched in the correct categories or are simply
missing.

Beside getting the same error message, we also share the fact that we are both using Red Hat Linux.  I'm not sure what Jean-Marie means by "a long-tag line".  If anyone knows, I'd appreciate an example which I can use to see I have a similar issue with tag length.
