Re: 20000502: more on GEMPAK build failure on Solaris 8 x86

Steve,

Removing th GEMLINUX.h link did the trick.  I always had
a gemlinux.h link problem under Solaris 7 and SC 4.2
as well, but it was in another location (ldmbridge I believe)
and the error always indicated what the problem was,
like trying to make a link that already existed.
GARP starts, but I haven't had a chance to test it out,
it should work.  Pass along to Tom that McIDAS compiled
and installed successfully, but I haven't exercised it
thoroughly either.

Thanks for your help,
Robert
