Ellen, In the make.out file that you attached, it seems you have encountered a problem with the netCDF library being built. I've made a patch available that I believe will solve this problem. http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/mjames/gempak/gempak_netcdf_upd_201007.tar.gz save and uncompress in $NAWIPS cd to $NAWIPS/extlibs/netCDF/ "make clean" rm $OS_LIB/libnetcdf.* "make all" If this completes without any problems, you should cd to $NAWIPS and run "make all >& make.out" once again. Please let me know if you encounter any problems or have any further questions.
