Hi Brendon-

Michael is out for a couple of weeks, so I'm filling in best I can.

> Running Gempak 5.11.4 under 64 bit Centos 5.3 built from source, all
> seems to have compiled just fine.  When I run NWX, I am unable to see
> surface hourlies, I get a GUI based "ERROR opening/reading 'sfstns.tbl'"
> error message.  I get a similar message for other types of observed data
> (sounding data, synoptic data, etc.)  sfstns.tbl and other related
> tables have world read/execute permission.  Other NWX products work ok.
> 
> I have not made any changes to Gemenviron other than correcting the
> path for NAWIPS and GEMDATA to match our site needs, corrections that I
> have made on other locally hosted Gempak distributions without incident.

> Running sflist also works fine for looking at metar data.

> Any help is greatly appreciated.

Would you send me your Gemenviron file so I can take a look?
