Hi Tristan,

I don't recall ever seeing this kind of error from trying to read the
graphcaps. However, since you are sending the output to an X11 window,
it shouldn't be trying to read any graphcaps anyway. I seem to remember
that at one time, it was possible to build ictrans without X11 support,
and if you then tried to use the "-d X11" option, ictrans would
look in the graphcaps directory for an "x11" graphcap (which never 
existed, and hence you would get an error).

Let's first see if something is wrong with the graphcaps directory.
You should only need read (and not write) permissions for the
directories under /local/archive/1/tletou/ncarg/lib/ncarg. Can you do
the following to make sure you have the correct permissions:

   ls -l /local/archive/1/tletou/ncarg/lib
   ls -l /local/archive/1/tletou/ncarg/lib/ncarg
   ls -l /local/archive/1/tletou/ncarg/lib/ncarg/graphcaps

You can personally email me the output from the above so I can double
check it for you.
