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.
