Richard,

You should download the compressed source tar file again and not
proceed if gzip continues to give you errors.

We have noticed that downloading distribution files from our web site
using Mozilla and its variants and Netscape under Linux can be
problematical.  I found, however, that the Konqueror web browser
distributed with RedHat (and Fedora Core) distributions of Linux does
not have these same problems, so you may want to try a different web
browser.

Also, can I ask why you are not using a binary distribution of GEMPAK
instead of building from source?

>Many thanks

No worries.
