Chris,

Are you using the binary I provided, or a locally compiled version?
The binary was compiled under FC3. Assuming that your gcc/glibc distribution
is current (check gcc -v, hopefully its 3.4.4 or later), this would
typically signal a gplt process that not compatible with the 5.9.1 distribution-
eg, tring to use a gplt process from an old distribution. Is $GEMEXE correctly
defined as $NAWIPS/os/linux/bin? That should be set if you are
correctly sourcing the 5.9.1 Gemenviron- however, if you
had hardcoded something in, or had an old window open, then an old GEMPAK
version could be getting mixed in.
