Danny,

The freely available software (eg LDM, NetCDF, etc) is available via our
anonymous ftp server at ftp.unidata.ucar.edu under the pub/ directory.
See our WWW page for more information on downloading and installing those 
packages.

Here is the information for GEMPAK/N-AWIPS version 5.4:

machine: ftp.unidata.ucar.edu
login: gbuddy
passwd: XXXXXX

download the file: nawips-5.4/gempakupc_pl8.tar.gz

Patch level 8 is the most recent tar file distribution.

Unpack the tarfile in a clean directory with:
gunzip -c upc_pl8.tar.gz | tar xvf -

In the top level directory, edit the Gemenviron file and
define the NAWIPS environmental variable to be the top
level directory you unpacked the distribution in.
Once you have edited the Gemenviron file, source
the contents in your csh with "source Gemenviron".

Now, build with:
cd $NAWIPS   # should be in that directory already
make all >& make.out &

you can watch the make log with:
tail -40f make.out

If make suceeds, install with:
make install

Finally:
make clean

More information on Installing GEMPAK is found on the gempak WWW
pages at:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/GEMPAK5.4/release_notes.html

GEMPAK uses a default visual of 8 bit pseudocolor. You must have
that configuration.

I didn't see in your message what platform you are intending to build
on, so I can't offer specific information other than to insure you are
using the Vendor supplied C, Fortran and Make programs.

Information regarding McIDAS will be sent to you from the appropriate
contacts.
