Hi Michael, It looks like your installation of SPLASH is fine, but the file is not in the default GADGET2 format. I am not sure what format the output files from Gadget3 are by default, but I suspect they use the "block-labelled" format. If so you should set the environment variable "GSPLASH_FORMAT=2", i.e. type:
export GSPLASH_FORMAT=2 gsplash snap_* See if that works. If not, please send me a copy of the file and I will try to figure out why it is not being read.
