[gembud] GEMPAK installation woes

[Austin Cross]

Hi,

I'm trying to install GEMPAK on a Debian x64 system, but have run into a 
few problems. I've looked through mailing list archives but couldn't 
seem to find the same difficulties.

I first attempted to simply use the binary packages. A number of things 
seem to work, including the decoders. I'm primarily interested in the 
graphical applications which have a couple of difficulties though. A few 
of the applications like garp and nsharp seem to work, but the toolbar 
buttons are completely blank, making operation difficult. Nmap2 seg 
faults right after the window opens.

Thinking it would work better if I compiled from source, that's what I 
tried next. I ran into a few problems with missing Motif dev files, 
which were fixed after a bit of head scratching.  There are a couple of 
problems left in the compilation however, including the insistence on 
using gfortran for some reason. I've changed the lines in Gemenviron to 
read:

#set USE_GFORTRAN=1
#set USE_PGI=1
set USE_G77=1

But it still comes up with dozens of errors saying gfortran is not found 
before stopping. The make.out file (409K) is at:

Any help in getting either the binary or source distributions to work is 
greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Austin
