Hi Ellen, I'm sorry I forgot to include a very important instruction. In $NAWIPS/gempak/source/gemlib/im/ after "make clean all" type "ar -rv $OS_LIB/gemlib.a *.o" then cd to $GEMPAK/source/programs/gd/gddiag and try "make clean all install" sorry about that missing instruction, i've been under the weather and a bit out of it the last couple of days! best, Michael Unidata > Hi, > > Thank you very much for the quick response. > > I followed your directions but unfortunately I still cannot get gddiag > to work. > > I saved the tarball in $NAWIPS and then unzipped and untarred it there. > I then went to cd $NAWIPS/gempak/source/gemlib/im/ and typed "make clean > all." > I checked and all the files (im*) in the directory were replaced. > Next I went to cd $GEMPAK/source/programs/gd/gddiag and typed "make > clean all install" > I then went back to my working directory, used the following GEMPAK > variables and ran gddiag: > [esukovich@psd2app NewDirectory]$ gddiag > GDFILE Grid file 200512_cnrfc_240ss.grd > GDOUTF Output grid file 20051225_P24M.gem > GFUNC Scalar grid P06M > GDATTIM Grid date/time 051225/1200F012 > GLEVEL Grid level 0 > GVCORD Grid vertical coordinate none > GRDNAM Grid parameter name > GRDTYP Diagnostic grid type (Scalar/Vec S > GPACK Packing type/number of bits > GRDHDR Grid Header Flags > PROJ Map projection/angles/margins|dr > GRDAREA Area covered by grid > KXKY Number of grid points in x;y > MAXGRD Maximum number of grids 200 > CPYFIL Grid file whose navigation is to 200512_cnrfc_240ss.grd > ANLYSS Grid analysis block > Parameters requested: GDFILE,GDOUTF,GFUNC,GDATTIM,GLEVEL,GVCORD,GRDNAM, > GRDTYP,GPACK,GRDHDR,PROJ,GRDAREA,KXKY,MAXGRD,CPYFIL,ANLYSS. > GEMPAK-GDDIAG>r > [DG -7] Input grid P06M ^051225/1200F012 @0 %NONE cannot be found. > Parameters requested: GDFILE,GDOUTF,GFUNC,GDATTIM,GLEVEL,GVCORD,GRDNAM, > GRDTYP,GPACK,GRDHDR,PROJ,GRDAREA,KXKY,MAXGRD,CPYFIL,ANLYSS. > GEMPAK-GDDIAG> > > Could I perhaps have the wrong gditoh* files from when I tried the > following in the thread: > http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/help/MailArchives/gempak/msg05715.html? > > Thanks again for your time, > Ellen > > > > > > > The error message is still the same: > > On 6/22/2010 1:16 PM, Unidata GEMPAK Support wrote: > > Hi Ellen, > > > > Your problem does seem to be caused by the im library bugs talked about in > > the two mentioned tickets. > > > > I've attached a tarball of the most current gemlib/im libraries for you. > > > > Save the file and untar it in $NAWIPS > > cd $NAWIPS/gempak/source/gemlib/im/ > > > > make clean all > > > > cd $GEMPAK/source/programs/gd/gddiag/ > > make clean all install > > > > try GDDIAG again. > > > > let me know if you still encounter any problems. > > > > Michael James > > Unidata > > > > > > > > > >> Hi, > >> > >> I am trying to run gddiag to accumulate four 6-hour accumulated > >> precipitation times (which eventually I want to convert to grib files > >> using gdgrib).
