20010718: Problem installing GEMPAK5.6

James,

Its possible that you had some trouble in unpacking the tarfile or
ran out of space. The flex command  shouldn't be needed if the
tar directory of $GEMPAK/source/netcdf-3.4/src/ncgen is complete
(eg all files exist - 18 of them, and not zero length etc).

I'm assuming you are building 5.6.c.1 from the gbuddy ftp account.

Try: 

cd $GEMPAK/source/netcdf-3.4/src/ncgen
make distclean

then verify that the files in the directort match the tarfile:

Let me know what you find.

If nothing else, you might be able to change the "flex" to "lex" in the 
Makefile.
