Art, Sounds like the dcgrib2 executable being run by the LDM is still the old binary, or you missed the definition in the gemprm.h file. Have you copied over your new binaries for your ldm? The $GEMPAK/include/Linux/MCHPRM.PRM is a link to $GEMPAK/include/MCHPRM.Linux. The build will use -D$(GEMPAK)/include/$(OS) and to search for the MCHPRM.PRM file. You need to make the changes both in the fortran parameter file, as well as the C header file $GEMPAK/include/gemprm.h. The "make distclean" is required to remove the old $GEMLIB/* files as you noted. Steve Chiswell Unidata User Support >From: "Arthur A.
