Ellen, I believe this should work: cd $GEMPAK/source/gemlib/im/ make clean ar -d $OS_LIB/gemlib.a imnidh.o make all ar -rv $OS_LIB/gemlib.a imnidh.o cd $GEMPAK/source/programs/gd/gddiag/ make clean all install try again and let me know! sorry for all of the trouble - the updated imnidh.f isn't rebuilding since it already exists in gemlib.a - this should clear that up. -mj > Hi Michael, > > No worries!
