Hi,

If you start Ferret with

   > ferret -gif

then you can't write a metafile.  The -gif mode writes all of the graphics output directly to a gif file.  The correct way to start Ferret for running without a terminal window, and create postscript files would be

   > ferret -batch

In fact you can directly write a postscript file, with no need for a metafile, by naming the file on startup.  See the documentation here:

http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/users-guide/introduction/GETTING-STARTED#_VPINDEXENTRY_20

Finally , the best figures are drawn by PyFerret. Please consider installing PyFerret if possible.
