'setenv' is a C-Shell directive; it is not valid in BASH.  If you have
'setenv' lines in either .bashrc and/or .bash_profile, you need to change
it to use the BASH syntax for 'sourcing' a file.  If you are sourcing the
wrong Gemenviron file, you need to change to use of the correct one:

'source /home/psaunders/gempak/NAWIPS/Gemenviron' is correct if you are using
the Csh/Tcsh shells.

'. /home/psaunders/gempak/NAWIPS/Gemenviron.profile' is correct if you are using
the BASH shell.

Cheers,

Tom
