[gembud] [Gempak] GEMPAK installation woes

[Arthur A. Person]

Austin,

I found in the 5.10.3 build that if you built with GFORTRAN (which didn't 
work for me) and then tried to switch to G77 that the build got confused 
unless you started from scratch again (i.e. untar the distribution again, 
set up all your Gemenviron settings as you want them including USE_G77=1 
and then rebuild).  There's apparently a bug in the cleanup Makefile in 
this instance.  You might give this a try and see if it works.
