Mike,

Your error messages indicate your Gemenviron file has $NAWIPS pointing to a
GEMPAK 5.6 directory tree:
Resource File:  /usr/local/gempak/gempak5.6/resource/Ntop
graphic, satellite, radar, fax -- 33 95 20 2
 Invoke ... /usr/local/gempak/gempak5.6/os/linux/bin/nmap2

Since the tarfile will unpack into a GEMPAK5.9.2 tree, either your
sourcing of Gemenviron isn't getting the correct location, or you have modified
the tree name. 

Since many of the NMAP2 tables would be quite different between 5.6 and 5.9.2, 
that would be the first place to look. Verify that your GEMPAK5.9.2/Gemenvion
file has the correct NAWIPS location, and your shell environment is sourcing
the current 5.9.2 Gemenviron.
