Chris, MACHTYPE is an environmental variable set by Linux. If your csh environment does not have this set, then you have a different type of Linux environment than the FC environment. You haven't told me what OS and hardware you hvae, but the Gemenviron script has identified your uname output as Linux. The test on MACHTYPE is to determine whether you are i386 or x86_64. You can "setenv MACHTYPE `uname -m`" if MACHTYPE is not otherwise defined in your environment before running Gemenviron. I test on Fedora Core linux here. NCEP builds under RHEL. What does "uname -a" and "uname -m" return on your system?
