This is it right here: [kmahoney@h202 CFAD]$ source /opt/gempak/6.2.0/Gemenviron Can not find NAWIPS distribution. Check Gemenviron NAWIPS definition -> /home/gempak/GEMPAK6.2.0 Edit line 24 of /opt/gempak/6.2.0/Gemenviron so that it points $NAWIPS to the correct location. Then you should be able to source Gemenviron correctly and go from there. -mj > Hi Michael, > Thanks for getting back to me so quickly -- you are correct; it's not > sourcing the correct gempak: > > [kmahoney@h202 CFAD]$ which gddiag > /misc/whome/kmahoney/gempak/GEMPAK5.11.4/os/linux64/bin/gddiag > > However, when I try to source the new gempak using either what the local > linux cluster people told me (below), nothing happens, and when I try to > hardwire the sourcing myself, this is what comes back: > > [kmahoney@h202 CFAD]$ ls /opt/gempak/6.2.0/ > Gemenviron Makefile bin compile.out > doc gempak ldm resource unidata > Gemenviron.profile README.License_disclaimer comet config > extlibs icons os scripts versions > > [kmahoney@h202 CFAD]$ source /opt/gempak/6.2.0/Gemenviron > Can not find NAWIPS distribution. > Check Gemenviron NAWIPS definition -> /home/gempak/GEMPAK6.2.0 > > I imagine this might be something to figure out w/ the local cluster > people, as I'm evidently not familiar with how/where 6.2.0 was installed > and how to properly source it. > > Thanks again; I really appreciate your assistance. > > Kelly > > > > Kelly, > > > > None of us know how to use gempak, and it doesn't come > > with any unit tests.
