From within the script, after sourcing /home/gempak/GEMPAK5.8.1/Gemenviron, echo $GEMTBL shows GEMTBL is /home/gempak/GEMPAK5.8.1/gempak/tables There is a /home/gempak/GEMPAK5.7.2p2 on the machine also, but this script definitely is not looking there. It's using the nex2gini from the /home/gempak/GEMPAK5.8.1/bin/linux/nex2gini I've renamed the datatype.tbl in the 5.7.2 directory to be a different name, and now a 'find' command on / for datatype.tbl only finds the one in the 5.8.1/gempak/tables/common directory. Is there any way from within nex2gini that I can find out where it is looking? Some debug flag or something?
