Hi Carl,

I do not have a CentOS 7 machine so I can't be of much help other than saying 
it's not supported.  We support RHEL/CentOS 6 only at the moment, and I don't 
know when I will have support for 7.

The compat-gcc-34-g77 requirement would need to be updated for the LDM RPM 
build, but I would think installing the AWIPS II group(s) with --nodeps or 
--force will get you there, or close, but I'm speculating since I can't check 
for myself.

Michael
