Maureen, I think that the line wrapped in your earlier email at: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpse/gempak/2731 so, ignore my comment about not sourcing Gemenviron and finding the bridge.a library. At any rate, it looks like your compiler is upset with the -w flag that the previous person put in the Makeinc.sol definitions (I do not distribute the source with that flag- but it should be a valid flag for the /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc compiler to supress warning messages). Its possible that you don't have the right cc compiler in your path. Type: which cc if it returns something like /usr/bin/cc, then that is the old out of date compiler bsd compiler. You need to have /opt/SUNWspro/bin in your path before /usr/bin so that the cc compiler in that directory will be found. Verify that you have /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc, and if you do, add that infront of your current path with: setenv PATH /opt/SUNWspro/bin:${PATH} If you don't have the Sparcworks compilers installed on that machine, then that would be the cause of not being able to compile too.
