[GEMPAK #QYV-528693]: Trying to decode GEM feed

["Unidata GEMPAK Support" <support-gempak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Samuel,

OK.

> I see that we're now receiving gem data in /data/ldm/cmc.

Very good.

I'm stumped also.

However, I found out why the ~ldm/etc/pqact.gempak action for dcgrib2
decoding of CMC data is not working:

<as 'ldm'>
cd ~ldm
decoders/dcgrib2
decoders/dcgrib2: error while loading shared libraries: libgfortran.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So, the problem is that dcgrib2 was built using gfortran, and the gfortran shared
library is not being found because gfortran is not installed on shu.  The quick
solution is to install gfortran:

<as 'root'>
yum install gfortran  (or something similar)



Cheers,

Tom
