Hi Bruce,

the getdp executable is a little bit old now and does not understand the latest default mesh format (2.1) of Gmsh. In 
Gmsh, you should use File -> "Save As", then choose Format -> "Gmsh mesh" and finally choose Format : "Version 2.0 
ASCII" when asked by the MSH options popup window, which will save your mesh in the 2.0 format readable by getdp.

Or alternatively add the following line in your .geo file:

Mesh.MshFileVersion = 2 ;


Cheers,

Dave
