Hi Dave,

I'm sorry to report that we probably won't make binaries for
5.1.3 other than the Solaris 5.7 version that already
exists.

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
