Keith, [I drove your inquiry into our support-email tracking system.] I don't know the dcgunzip program so I asked around. Our GEMPAK/AWIPS-2 person said this: The program dcgunzip is included in the awips2-ldm RPM. It's possible this file is missing on Keith's install. He should confirm that /usr/local/ldm/decoders/dcgunzip exists and is executable, and if not, download from https://github.com/Unidata/awips2/blob/unidata_14.4.1/rpms/awips2.upc/Installer.ldm/patch/decoders/dcgunzip and restart the LDM to see if the error messages disappear. > Hi Steven! > > I am having an issue and I can't find any old tickets or emails about this > issue.
