Tony, It looks like the syntax of the pqact.conf file is OK (the spaces aren't part of the log message). It looks like your GEMTBL path is wrong. You appear to have: -e GEMTBL=/usr/local/gempak/GEMPAK5.6/tables If your $NAWIPS is /usr/local/gempak/GEMPAK5.6, then your $GEMTBL location will be /usr/local/gempak/GEMPAK5.6/gempak/tables. That is, the $GEMTBL variable when you source Gemenviron is the gempak/tables directory under $NAWIPS (not the tables directory in the root $NAWIPS directory).
