[Support #FIR-444705]: Re: Gempak

Karl,

GEMPAK is not linked against shareable libraries, so adding $GEMLIB to your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH won't have much effect on running GEMPAK programs.

Going back to your description of "no luck":

Can you elaborate on the luckless output above?

Assuming you have downloaded the MAC OSX binary distribution and installed 
according to the installation web page...

Have you edited the Gemenviron.profile file for your environmental variables, 
and then sourced the file into your 
bash environment with
. "somepath"/Gemenviron.profile

Is sflist in your path after doing that?
Are you getting any output to the terminal about your lack of luck?

The Mac OSX binaries were compiled under Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.0 if you are 
missing any gcc libraries.
