[Shake-dev] problems with ps files, genex

[Georgia Cua]

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for your message. Michael tracked it down to a problem with GMT  
versions and the intensity scale file (as Wan had also pointed out  
with an earlier message). The problem was on our side. We have several  
GMT versions on the machine in which ShakeMap is installed. We were  
doing SVN updates daily, but our update script was not pointing to the  
right GMT path for ShakeMap. In any case, with the right path  
variables, we are now able to run the sample event correctly.

Thanks again,
Georgia
