Re: GEMPAK and Macintosh OS X

David,

MacOSX doesn't support message queues needed for GEMPAK.
I have done all the work to build and test. The GUI and decoder
programs work fine. But Panther and Jaguar don't have the
system V ipc routines.

The Gemenviron I provide will recognize Darwin and set the necessary
build parameters. The Apple GCC distribution didn't have G77 at the
time, so I had to download that from fink, as well as openmotif.
