Hi SJ, re: > WOW you've done quite a few miracles! If only that were true... :-) re: > I found netCDF on MacPorts > http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=netCDF Will you be installing this? re: > WIll reboot the machine now as I assume you are finally asleep :) I see that you rebooted your machine. While logged in this morning, I saw that the load average was nice and low ( <= 1.5 ); nice! Please let me know if/when you install a 64-bit version of the netCDF and where it can be found. I will then re-login and finish a build of the ldm-mcidas-2012 package and make the binary distribution of the decoders available to the Unidata community. > -sj > > On Aug 30, 2012, at 11:30 PM, Unidata LDM Support wrote: > > > Hi SJ, > > > > When I logged into measwx to check on things this evening, I found > > that there were several GEMPAK decoder invocations that had been running > > for a LONG time (near the beginning of August).
