Hi Zehra,

On your second question -- there are some issues in getting to the  
lists from outside the gps domain.  We are going to move shake-dev to  
a USGS site fairly soon, so you should have easier access (as well as  
searchable archives).  Have you tried this URL:

http://scsnmail.gps.caltech.edu/mailman/listinfo/shake-dev

I don't know if that will work better for you.  I am inside the  
domain, so I see it all just fine.

On your primary problem, your first error is:

GMT Fatal Error: Error seeking past header file /home/ozden/Desktop/ 
SHAKEMAP/shake_home/bin/../data/9583161/output/mmi.grd!

Which tells me that the .grd files are probably not being created  
properly.  Have a look at that file and see how big it is.  You can  
also use 'grdinfo' to examine the contents -- but remember to append  
'=1' to the filename so grdinfo can read it (i.e., 'grdinfo  
mmi.grd=1').  If it gags, 'grind' isn't writing the file correctly.   
If nx * ny * 4 isn't within a couple of dozen bytes of the file size,  
there is some other problem.

Check your 'include/macros' file -- your 'ARCHITECTURE' macro should  
be set to 'CISC'.  If it isn't, you'll need to change it and run  
"make all" in the shakemap home directory again.  Then make sure that  
the '$architecture' variable in lib/ShakeConfig.pm is set to the  
proper thing.  If it isn't, delete the file and run 'make all' again.
