Hi Miles,

The GEMPAK source installation instructions are located at

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/gempak/GEMPAK/Install_GEMPAK.html

including instructions on how to uncompress the gzipped tar file.

Your linux system will need to have both the base OpenMotif and development 
package installed.  The system specific packages can be downloaded from 

http://www.motifzone.net/filebrowser/openmotif

Version 2.3.1 is recommended.

If this is your first attempt at building GEMPAK, please be sure to follow the 
instructions carefully. If you encounter unexpected problem let me know and I 
will help.
