Charles, The profiler and ACARS data sets from FSL are transmitted in NetCDF format, so the 2 GEMPAK decoders must link to to those routines. If you have NetCDF installed on your system (available from our anonymous ftp site under pub/netcdf) then you only have to define the location of the include and library files in $NAWIPS/config/Makeinc.common using the NETCDF and NETCDFINC variables. If you don't have NeTCDF and/or don't need the NetCDF decoders, then you can just remove those directories from the $NAWIPS/uniata/ldmbridge/Makefile, eg: change: DECODERS = dcgrib dcsynop dctrop dcwatch dcnldn dcstorm \ dcncprof dcacars To simply: DECODERS = dcgrib dcsynop dctrop dcwatch dcnldn dcstorm I used to have the default build for GEMPAK not build those decoders since it does require the outside library....but most sites now use the dcncprof and dcacars decoders, so I added them to the default build. You can build now without them, and later if you need them, then you can go into the individual ldmbridge directories and build them. Sorry for the confusion...you're almost done.
