Try the source code. I have no trouble installing it on Redhat 6.2, and I expect no trouble on Redhat 7. If you want to see someone else's experiences installing 5.1.2 on Redhat 7 go to http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpsedocs/ghldm.html, our support archive, and search on "Justin" - Justin Weaver at NWS in Detroit just went through this. Have you been communicating with him? If you have then you must know that he uncovered a bug regarding AFOS that was hopefully fixed in 5.1.3 - maybe that is what you are referring to. In fact, perhaps I should insist that you check out my last message to him in the archive. We do not get an AFOS feed (being decommisioned at the point) so I have no way to test the change in a robust manner. My advice to him and to you is to test the software first before relying on it. We do not support operations. Good luck! Anne -- *************************************************** Anne Wilson UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden P.O.
