Andrew,

MAC OSX currently does not provide message queue
support, so the only programs that will run are the decoders and
GUIs. You can download the msg.h and ipc.h from the netbsd sites
so that the code will compile, but I have tested both Panther and
Jaguar and neither provide message queue and IPC support
that the command line programs will need for talking to
the gplt and device drivers.

NAWIPS will be the directory where you unpacked the distribution, and
you will have to edit the Gemenviron file if you placed the
distribution in a directory other than /home/gempak/GEMPAK5.7.1.

Lastly, you will need openmotif (I obtained it through fink for my build).
Lesstif is not suitible.
