Ah, I see it now. zlib is not installed, which is preventing the PNG lib from building. make sure both zlib and zlib-devel are installed on your system using the yum package manager. Additionally, I would recommend you build the latest GEMPAK 6.6.0 release instead of the 5.11.4, there's a lot of table and map updates in addition to more data file handling. -Michael > GEMPAK Support, > > I rebuilt completely, but when building I get errors.
