A customer has installed ANSYS 8.1 on an SGI platform.
When launching an interactive session, the following message appears:

"Cannot allocate color map gray 40".

The entire output window contains just a white empty window.

How can I correct this error?


If users get this error, the workaround is to have them add -bg blue, or some available color, to their Additional Options emulation setting in the Launcher.

Launcher90 > Options > Manage Terminal Emulation > Additional Options.
