[GEMPAK #DLM-643876]: Gempak- Cannot get it to run

Is your shell a csh or tcsh? If it is a bash type of shell, then
you will want to configure the .bashrc to source Gemenviron.profile. The
Gemenviron should be sourced by your .cshrc as long as your terminal or xterm,
unless you are referencing environmental variables in the path to the
Gemenviron file that are not defined in your .cshrc, or if you modify your PATH 
variable
in your .cshrc after the source Gemenviron line. 

Typing "env" at your shell prompt will show the environmental variables set
by your .cshrc (you should see the GEMEXE, GEMTBL, GEMERR etc variables.

Your glibc version is likely old (see gcc -v). The binary was built with gcc 
4.0x (Fedora Core 4).
You can upgrade your gcc/glibc environment to a more up to date glibc.
