Hi Victor,

All of the environmental variables needed for the build and use of GEMPAK are 
defined in the file ~gempak/GEMPAK6.6.0/Gemenviron (for csh/tcsh) or 
~gempak/GEMPAK6.6.0/Gemenviron.profile (for bash).

Before the build, you need to source this file to make use of them.

for csh/tcsh: "source Gemenviron"
for bash: ". Gemenviron.profile"

I recommend adding a line to the gempak user's .cshrc or .bashrc file so the 
GEMPAK envar file is sourced on login.

You can check that this is successful by issuing the command "env | grep 
GEMPAK" to see the variables have been defined.  After that, continue with the 
build "make all" following by "make install"

Best,

Michael James
