Hi Samuel,

OK.

> I see that we're now receiving gem data in /data/ldm/cmc.

Very good.

> You have me stumped as to why dcgrib2 is/isn't a dynamic executable.

I'm stumped also.

However, I found out why the ~ldm/etc/pqact.gempak action for dcgrib2
decoding of CMC data is not working:

<as 'ldm'>
cd ~ldm
decoders/dcgrib2
decoders/dcgrib2: error while loading shared libraries: libgfortran.so.1: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So, the problem is that dcgrib2 was built using gfortran, and the gfortran 
shared
library is not being found because gfortran is not installed on shu.  The quick
solution is to install gfortran:

<as 'root'>
yum install gfortran  (or something similar)



Cheers,

Tom
