Note: This version of the VDT (1.4.0) is no longer supported. Feel free to look through the documentation and install it, but we cannot guarantee support for it. The current stable release is 2.0.0.

VDT 1.4.0a

We released VDT 1.4.0a on 31-Oct-2006.

Most VDT users will not need to take any action. There were two fixes.

When installing PyGlobus on a 64-bit system with Python 2.4 or later, we incorrectly installed an extra Python. This is unlikely to cause problems for most people, so if you have already installed VDT 1.4.0, you need to take no corrective action.
The EDG-Make-Gridmap package has been updated. If you do not use EDG-Make-Gridmap, you need to take no corrective action. If you are unsure if you are using it, you almost certainly are not.

There are two ways to get the update for EDG-Make-Gridmap

Make sure you are not using Pacman 3.17. We recommend 3.18.5
cd $VDT_LOCATION
pacman -allow save-setup
pacman -update EDG-Make-Gridmap

Some users are concerned about using Pacman -update. We believe it works here, but if you are concerned, you can patch it directly. You will need to edit $VDT_LOCATION/edge/sbin/edg-mkgridmap. You will make two edits:
1. At the top of the file, add this:
```
if [ -e /home/roy/1.4.0atest/setup.sh ]; then
  . /home/roy/1.4.0atest/setup.sh
fi
```
2. Find the line that looks like this:
```
exec $prog $EDG_MKGRIDMAP_OPTIONS "$@"
```
  And change it to this:
```
exec $prog -output $GRIDMAP $EDG_MKGRIDMAP_OPTIONS "$@"
```
