James, Its possible that your SparcWorks libraries are a little old. The programs are linked against SUN WS6.0. Run the ldd command to see if it complains about not finding the Fortran shared libraries: ldd $GEMEXE/dcgrib2 Here I get: ldd $GEMEXE/dcgrib2 libm.so.1 => /opt/SUNWspro/lib/libm.so.1 libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1 libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1 libF77.so.4 => /opt/SUNWspro/lib/libF77.so.4 libM77.so.2 => /opt/SUNWspro/lib/libM77.so.2 libsunmath.so.1 => /opt/SUNWspro/lib/libsunmath.so.1 libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1 libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1 libmp.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmp.so.2 /usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-2/lib/libc_psr.so.1 The most likely problems would be in not finding the libsunmath.so.1 and libF77.so.4, libM77.so.2 libs. If necessary, I provided the Solaris fortran libraries that you could download if you do not have the current ones installed. You could download them to $GEMLIB and add that directory to the front of your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable so that they are found before any in your /opt/SUNWspro/lib directory.
