[GEMPAK #QBN-292365]: GEMPAK 6.10 build issue

Hi Darren,

I am the so-called GEMPAK guru on vacation in Norway at the moment.   I have 
another user who reported the same build problem with Scientific Linux earlier 
this year, but before we look at operating system-specific issues, can you 
confirm that you are sourcing the environmental variable file Gemenviron?  

For tcsh and bash-specific sourcing, see 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/gempak/doc/install.html#sourcing

The reason I ask this is that I reproduce the "make: *** /: Is a directory.  
Stop." error if I deliberately do NOT source the Gemenviron file and attempt a 
build.  Once I then source the file, the build works as it should.
