Pete, I do not have the gempak distribution build dcncprof or dcacars by default since they rely on NetCDF being present and some sites do not get the acars or 6 minute profiler data- so its optional. To build these two programs, first check the location of the NETCDFINC and NETCDF variables in $NAWIPS/config/Makeinc.common and make sure they point to the include file directory and library of NetCDF on your system, then cd $NAWIPS/unidata/ldmbridge/dcacars make all make install make clean cd $NAWIPS/unidata/ldmbridge/dcncprof make all make install make clean Nsharp should have been built in $NAWIPS/ncprogs. The nsharp button should be on the ntl launcher. If nsharp didn't build, try: cd $NAWIPS/nprogs/nsharp/source make clean make all make install make clean Steve Chiswell Unidata User Support >From: Rahe Peter J MSgt AFIT/ENP <address@hidden> >Organization: . >Keywords: 199908191545.JAA02810 >Don, > >I did get it fixed.
