Bill, Here's a fast fix for your problem: edit line 21 of: $GEMPAK/source/contrib/tdl/radmap/Makefile That line currently looks like: # imcbar2.o \ remove the "\" character (or just delete the commented out line) so at least: # imcbar2.o The line continuation character isapparently confusing your make so that the following line ALIB isn't being defined.
