Can't submit a plot from an IRIX 6.2 machine

Description:
SYMPTOM: Can't submit a plot from an IRIX 6.2 machine. The following error is logged in the $IESX_METAPATH/*.log "device_name is an invalid CGM plotting device for this site"


Solution:
RESOLUTION: You cannot use the 10.0 cgmsupport directory for a 6.2 machine. In the 'gqs_cgm_script.csh' the 10.0 script does a cut, which IRIX 6.2 doesn't recognize. The 10.1 script does an 'awk'. Copying the 10.1 'gqs_cgm_script.csh' into the cgmsupport directory will get rid of the error and you'll be able to plot once it's properly edited. If you are on an R10000 IRIX machine you should use all of the 10.1 cgmsupport scripts and not just copy 'gqs_cgm_script.csh' into the old 10.0 cgmsupport directory. There were updates to the 10.1 cgmsupport scripts to handle the R10000 machines.
