Hi Hunter, For the research user error "Fatal Error: cannot fine resource file (Ntop), check $XUSERFILESEARCHPATH or under $HOME", it seems that the $NAWIPS environmental variable is not set, as Ntop should be found in $NAWIPS/resource/Ntop. What is the output of "env"? Are you seeing the correct $NAWIPS and GEMPAK paths? Check that either the 6.6.0 Gemenviron (csh) or Gemenviron.profile (bash) is being sourced correctly.
