Steve,
Thanks for the interesting news. I appreciate your efforts to expand GEMPAK's Mac capabilities. 

Cheers, Steven

Steve,

Russ was able to let me test out Max OS 10.4.1 (Tiger plus an update,
which provides Darwin 8.1.0) on his laptop, and I can get a message queue to work now, and have been able to build openmotif so I will be able to put together a test binary distribution to kick the tires on. Our OSX workstation is still running Panther, so development is limited to when Russ' laptop is on the network here.

Antti,

MacOSX is not a platform that I support at this time for GEMPAK
due to the limitation of the OS support for the SYSV message queues.
The package will build using open motif and g77/gcc ( I tested using Fink's distributions). Decoders and GUIs will run, while command line programs that use message queue's build will not. Developers environments for X11 and 
Motif are needed.
At the time I tested, the Apple gcc/g77 had a version incompatibility with 
libg2c, which led me to use the Fink version.

Hello,
does anybody have any experience in running NPROGS like nmap2, ntrans, 
nsharp etc. on a MacOS platform?

How about generally using Mac as a Visualization Lab platform for
Unidata software?

Any comments welcome!

Thanks,
Antti
