the first line of your make.out file, /home/gempak/GEMPAK5.11.4/config/Makeinc.linux_:1: /home/gempak/GEMPAK5.11.4/config/Makeinc.linux_: Too many open files indicates that the environmental variable $GEM_COMPTYPE is not being set in Gemenviron (or Gemenviron.profile if you are using bash) for example, near the top of $NAWIPS/Gemenviron you should see the definition set USE_GFORTRAN=1 #set USE_PGI=1 #set USE_G77=1 which further down the file is used to define the appropriate makefile to be used for your build. in your case, if USE_GFORTRAN is as it appears above, the makefile should be set to "Makefile.linux_gfortran". Instead your build is looking for "Makefile.linux_" - which obviously doesn't exist. This is where you'll have to investigate why $GEM_COMPTYPE is not being set correctly. If you want me to take a look just reply back with your Gemenviron (or Gemenviron.profile for bash) file attached, as well as the output of "uname -a" Best, Michael James Unidata > Hi, > > I have spend a couple of hours trying to do this.
