20010718: Problem installing GEMPAK5.6

[Unidata Support <support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

James,

Its possible that you had some trouble in unpacking the tarfile or
ran out of space. The flex command  shouldn't be needed if the
tar directory of $GEMPAK/source/netcdf-3.4/src/ncgen is complete
(eg all files exist - 18 of them, and not zero length etc).

I'm assuming you are building 5.6.c.1 from the gbuddy ftp account.

Try: 

cd $GEMPAK/source/netcdf-3.4/src/ncgen
make distclean

then verify that the files in the directort match the tarfile:

Let me know what you find.

If nothing else, you might be able to change the "flex" to "lex" in the 
Makefile.
