Hi Jeff,

You mentioned downloading the 6.8.0 tarball, but then say you installed the 
64-bit linux RPM.  did you do both?

I don't have an Ubuntu system to check right now. Basically, everything should 
be bult from source until I can provide an Ubuntu binary release.

For GEMPAK built from source, there is a file in $NAWIPS/config/ called 
"Makeinc.linux64_gfortran_ubuntu" that should be moved to 
"Makeinc.linux64_gfortran" before running "make all" in $NAWIPS.

For open motif, you will have to cd into the open-motif source directory and 
run "./configure",  "make all" and "make install" in order.
