Kevin, As noted in the 5.10.3 What's new: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/gempak/GEMPAK5.10/whats_new.html#5.10.3 GFORTRAN is now the default I use to build the linux executables. You can either build from source using g77, or update your linux environment so that gcc/gfortran v4.1+ is available so that the libgfortran.so is found on your system. The FC5 and later environments all have this configuration.
