Dave,

first, there is a typo in your csh command. It should read:
make all >& make.out &

The "$" characters are incorrect.

If "make" is not found, then it is because the directory /usr/ccs/bin
is not in your path. When building gempak, you should have at least
a minimal path with the necessary system programs defined, eg:

setenv PATH .:/usr/ccs/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/bin:/usr/bin

It is important that /opt/SUNWspro/bin is before /bin and /usr/bin
in your path, since the C compiler you need is the ansi SPARCworks
compiler, and not the old bsd cc.
