It has been so long since we’ve released a version of VAPOR 2 that this isn’t too surprising. The system libraries have changed significantly between VAPOR2’s last Linux release and what’s on Ubuntu24.

Could you share why you’re using VAPOR2 and not VAPOR3?

Thanks sir for your reply..

Actually I am using vapor 2.6.0 for the visualization of extrapolation magnetic field lines in solar corona. As I’m working as a research scholar also the data file that I am getting from the extrapolation model is in .vdf format that reads well in vapor 2.6.0 but the vapor 3 needs .vdc format. Another reason is, I have resumed one of the pending work. So most things have already been done using this version (2.6.0) and if now I’ll switch to vapor 3 then I have to restart all the things from the beginning.
