Libf77.so.4 is typically in /opt/SUNWspro/lib or your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
(you can check as to where its looking with the "ldd dcgrib" command.
(You might have downloaded the file from us into your /usr/lib directory 
and been overwritten when you upgraded.

I have the typical libraries needed to run the binary installation 
in the ~gbuddy/nawips-5.4/solaris_X86 directory which you can download.
