Jim,

If you downloaded the Linux binary distribution, eg:
~gbuddy/nawips-5.4/binary/linux/gempak5.4_plxx_linux.tar.gz
Then there is no source to build. The programs are all ready to
run as soon as you source Gemenviron.

If you are trying to build from the source distribution, then
you must have patch level 8 source tarfile or later to build on Linux, 
and you must have Motif (you have to buy this separately since its not
included with Linux, ~$149) to build the GUI programs like
Garp, Ntrans, NWX, NSAT.

Other fun things needed to build on Linux include f2c to compile all
the fortran code. F2c comes with Redhat linux. g77 won't work.
