Re: [gembud] install GEMPAK

Hello,
We just went through all this - tried initially with Ubuntu 9.10 (debian based) and ran into very persistent, odd compile errors even after installing very library package we could see. The compile would mostly work - sflist, gdinfo etc would work okay - but routines like gdplt2 would run, draw a base map, then not find the data layer in the gridded file to contour, even though gdinfo had just seen it. And the grid file was okay because I have another machine beside me with a working GEMPAK that I tested it on. It seemed to "loose track" of libxml2 libraries part-way through the build. There is probably an enviromental pointer that is not set properly etc. Anyhow, after a lot of fooling around went over to CentOS 5, put in the 5.11.1 binaries, installed a missing libgfortran library set (missing libgfortran.so.1 specifically but just installed the entire lib set), and it worked ok. So - I would recommend CentOS 5 with a GEMPAK 5.11.1 binary set.
