Hi Mike, In your make.out file there are a number of errors relating to libxslt.a: make[5]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/local/gempak/GEMPAK6.2.0//os/linux64/lib/libxslt.a', needed by `gdplot'. Stop. Further up in the file, where this library should be built, we see: configure: error: in `/usr/local/gempak/NAWIPS/extlibs/xslt/libxslt': configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check ... make[2]: *** [/usr/local/gempak/GEMPAK6.2.0//os/linux64/lib/libxslt.a] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/gempak/GEMPAK6.2.0/extlibs/xslt' Two things to check: 1) you might need a package called gcc-c++ 2) check config.log for a mention of 'cc1plus command not found' - if it's not installed then find the appropriate package using 'yum provides \*cc1plus\*' - if it is installed (meaning you can find it with either 'which' or 'locate', but it's not in /usr/bin, you will need to create a soft link (ln -s) in /usr/bin to the cc1plus program. Check these two items and see if one of them gives you the needed fix, and let me know either way.
