Jimmy. Have you ensured that you are using the gplt and device drivers from the new distribution? For example, if you hadn't run gpend, and the program reconnected to a running gplt process that was an old version, it could be a problem. Or, if you hadn't sourced the new Gemenviron locations into your environment before building, you might have lined against old libraries. I'm assuming you modified the LLMXLV entries in $GEMPAK/include before compiling the libraries (eg a fresh build). Otherwsie, make sure you have removed the $GEMLIB/* files before building ("make distclean" would do that as well). Since the snprof.f code hasn't changed recently, it doesn't sound llike anything new in the release would be broken. If the above suggestions don't help, send me a list of the changes you made. I can plot dropsonde data here using the 500 LLMXLV value.
