Hello Jason,
I wish Unidata would state a reason why they no longer produce GEMPAK
binaries, but regardless, we are left with all this compiling fun.
Looking at your Centos Errors, netcdf is not building for reasons I have
yet to figure out (appears it requires a lot of tetex stuff to build
docs). I ended up hacking in netcdf 4.1 to help it to build cleaner with
gfortran.
<personal rant>
I sure wish Unidata would support public source code trees and revision
systems of GEMPAK, so the community could actively help develop it.
Unfortunately, Unidata doesn't develop code in an open manner. We have to
wait for it to "come from on high", a.k.a the 13th floor of the Unidata
tower, hehe!
</personal rant>
Anyway, I know others on this list are producing RPMs, so hopefully
they'll have something to share with you. My RPM foo is not strong enough
to provide binaries for RHEL and RHEL clones yet.
I ended up installing: tetex-dvips , openmotif-devel, texinfo, tetex and
got it to work, I think.

Ok, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I am using a fresh install
of CentOS x86 5.4. I installed groups "X Window System", "X Software
Development" and "Development Libraries" as well as libXp, libXp-devel,
openmotif, and openmotif-devel. Included in the tar is a list of
packages that were installed. On a stock gempak source, using the new
sources, the builds break. The make.out for the original compile
attempts are in the tar file. I did not have the Gemenviron.profile
sourced in my .bash_profile. I used a fresh shell each time and sourced
it manually. They broke partially due to the fact that there are no
libraries or includes under the /usr/X11R6 directory on my system. All
of the x11 and motif libs are under /usr/lib and /usr/lib64, the
includes for X11 are under /usr/include and the includes for openmotif
are under /usr/include/Xm. After making the appropriate changes to the
Makeinc.linux64_g77 I ran the make again and ended up with the
make.out.2.
I've had problems compiling on Gentoo but that's due to the nature of the
beast, my CentOS systems have never had these problems. Prior to the issue that
was just patched, I have had very little problems compiling, and even then
everything compiled, and worked except for the inability to read data. Now
everything is completely broke and I'm completely confused as to what has
happened. Maybe it is as simple as reverting to an older version of CentOS.
If this is the case, what version do you guys use?
