20000307: GEMPAK Download

Alan,

You do not need udunits installed for this version of GEMPAK.
Don't worry about those definitions in the Makeinc.common file
as they are not used.

The problem you are having with udunits otherwise is that a perl
module is not being found on your system.

>>Our current distribution is 5.4 pl 16. Our Gempak distribution is password

>>You can access the distribution at ftp.unidata.ucar.edu using the login:

>>and password: XXXXXX.
>>
>>Once logged in, the source distribution is:
>>nawips-5.4/gempak54upc_pl16.tar.gz
>>
>>Linux and Solarix x86 binaries are found under the nawips-5.4/binary
>>directory.
>>
>>To install the software, create a clean directory and unpack the
>>distribution
>>tarfile. To build, edit the Gemenviron file and define the NAWIPS
>>environmental
>>variable to be the top of your installation tree.  After you have the
>>distribution
>>built, you can worry about defining the other datafile locations.
>>
>>After editing Gemenviron, "source Gemenviron" in your csh to define your
>>directory locataions. Verify that $NAWIPS is correctly set with:
>>echo $NAWIPS
>>
>>The build Gempak with:
>>cd $NAWIPS
>>make all
>>
>>when that completes, install the executables and clean the build tree with
>>
>>make install
>>make clean
>>
>>After building and installing, you should setup the Gemenviron data

>>GEMDATA, HDS, SAT, and TEXT_DATA. If you are running Gempak decoders from
>>your LDM, make sure the new decoder binaries from $GEMEXE are being used,
>>and the $GEMTBL station and packing tables are being used.
>>
>>The last step will be to edit the $GARPHOME/config/Garp_defaults file
>>if you use garp to define the model_keys and proj and garea names
>>associated with how you store model data in your $HDS directory.
>>The keys are unique identifiers that match the file names in the HDS
>>directory.
>>These are also used to define subdirectories under $GARPHOME/fdf/scalar
