Dave,

Congratulations! You're in the top-5 most obscure LDM problems of all time! :-)

The problem appears to be that you don't have a 64-bit dynamic loader 
(ld.so(8)), which is needed to execute the 64-bit GEMPAK programs:

[ldm@twister ~]$ locate ld-linux.so
/archive/diskimages/usr/share/man/man8/ld-linux.so.8.gz
/drobo/backups/aurora/usr/share/man/man8/ld-linux.so.8.gz
/drobo/backups/snowball/usr/share/man/man8/ld-linux.so.8.gz
/drobo/backups/tarfiles/snowball/usr/share/man/man8/ld-linux.so.8.gz
/lib/ld-linux.so.2
/usr/share/man/man8/ld-linux.so.8.gz
/usr/share/man/overrides/man8/ld-linux.so.8.gz
/usr/share/man/overrides/ru/man8/ld-linux.so.8.gz
[ldm@twister ~]$ file /lib/ld-linux.so.2 
/lib/ld-linux.so.2: symbolic link to `ld-2.12.so'
[ldm@twister ~]$ file /lib/ld-2.12.so
/lib/ld-2.12.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), 
dynamically linked, not stripped
[ldm@twister ~]$ /lib/ld-linux.so.2 --list 
/home/gempak/GEMPAK7/os/linux64/bin/dcgrib2
/home/gempak/GEMPAK7/os/linux64/bin/dcgrib2: error while loading shared 
libraries: /home/gempak/GEMPAK7/os/linux64/bin/dcgrib2: wrong ELF class: 
ELFCLASS64
[ldm@twister ~]$ 

You'll have to install whatever package is necessary in order to obtain a 
64-bit ld.so(8).

I've CC'ed our system administrator in case I'm way off-base.


Regards,
Steve Emmerson
