20000113: Gempak compile problem

Mark,

the /pub/nawips-dv etc paths are defaulted in the gui/gui.c
roputine and should always get overridden by the $GARPHOME/config/Garp_defaults
definitions.

It sounds as if GARPHOME and/or GARP_PATH isn't correctly defined in your 
environment and so none of the Garp_defaults definitions are being read.
These are defined art the top of the Gemenviron file and should be
relative to the $NAWIPS directory- so they should be correct if
$NAWIPS is properly set and if the garp directory is $NAWIPS/garp.

Since you said that Gemenviron is properly configured, it sounds as if 
ntl was launched without Gemenviron being sourced to define those
environmental variables into the csh.
