Re: [las_users] Color Plot Error

[J-M Epitalon <Jean-Marie.Epitalon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Roger,

Probably, LAS is searching the file etopo60 to draw the reference map, a
small map that is added to the plot and that shows the geographic region
the user selected.

It seems that the environment variable FER_DATA is not correctly set.
More precisely, it was not correctly set when you ran the configure.sh
shell script at LAS install time.

You can fix this by editing the file Ferret_config.pl in subdirectory
server.
Just modify the line starting with:
$ENV{FER_DATA} = "./data . . ....

Or reconfigure your LAS with taking care of initializing Ferret paths
before (run Ferret_path shell script).
