Steve,

It appears that either you haven't sourced the GEMPAK environment for your 
shell, or you
haven't set the NAWIPS location vaiable correctly in $NAWIPS/Gemenviron (for 
csh) or
$NAWIPS/Gemenviron.profile (for sh/bash/ksh).

The error of "message send" means most likely that $GEMEXE isn't correctly 
added to your path,
and the other log lines will be much more informative when the GEMERR and 
GEMPDF environmental 
variables are defined (all of which will be done when you "source Gemenviron" 
or ". Gemenviron.profile". 
You must edit the NAWIPS location in those files as described in the 
installation instructions.

You should also run "cleanup -c" after you fix the above problems to cleanup 
the message queues that 
you may have failed to close due to your errors above.
