Are there any telling error messages in the data/gempak/logs/dcgrib2_RUC.log file? The other thing that comes to mind, can you check if there is a line break in your pqact file where this dcgrib2 decoder is called? Specifically between the "-e" and "GEMTBL=..." ?? > cmd="dcgrib2 -d data/gempak/logs/dcgrib2_RUC.log -e > GEMTBL=/home/gempak/NAWIPS/gempak/tables" > I'm receiving this output in my log files indicating that I have trouble > with one of my decoders. > > 20161112T000310.900886Z pqact[18304] ERROR filel.c:3032:reap() Child > 19292 exited with status 1 > 20161112T000310.900932Z pqact[18304] ERROR > filel.c:425:fl_removeAndFree() Deleting failed PIPE entry: pid=19292, > cmd="dcgrib2 -d data/gempak/logs/dcgrib2_RUC.log -e > GEMTBL=/home/gempak/NAWIPS/gempak/tables" > 20161112T000311.136706Z pqact[19293] ERROR filel.c:1804:pipe_open() No > such file or directory > 20161112T000311.136774Z pqact[19293] ERROR filel.c:1804:pipe_open() > Couldn't execute decoder > "dcgrib2";PATH=/usr/local/ldm/ldm-6.13.5/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/local/ldm/.local/bin:/usr/local/ldm/bin > > I also can't view data such as METARS, it seems the decoders are > producing that data with I can't view within GEMPAK. I would need to see any error messages you're seeing. How are you viewing METARS? What program? What release? What OS?
