I looked at gridder.pro and it looks like it spawns a process called "gridder"
which is located in ~pvi/wave/bin/bin.sun4 (for sparc stations). I would guess
that the broken pipe error is caused by this gridder program either stopping
prematurely or never starting up to begin with. See if you can find the
program and run it directly from a shell. If it runs ok, then the problem
is probably that gridder.pro is looking for gridder in the wrong place. In
this case, edit gridder.pro and change the line

found = [findfile(!dir + '/bin/bin.' + arch(0) + '/gridder')]

to

found = 'Your Path To Gridder Here'

If you can find gridder and it just doesn't work, then you might be
running the wrong version of gridder (for example you might be running
a VAX compiled version on a SUN. The directory that gridder is located
in should clue you in to the type of architecture it was compiled for.
For example, I use a sparc station and gridder is located in a directory
called bin.sun4
