19990929: Downloading Gempak

Patrick,

The information you need to download gempak is:
host: ftp.unidata.ucar.edu
login: gbuddy
passwd: XXXXXX

The source distribution is found under
~gbuddy/nawips-5.4/gempak54upc_pl12.tar.gz

The current tar file is patched through patch level 12.

To build Gempak from source, download and unpack the distribution into
a clean directory. Edit the csh file Gemenviron in the top directory
and define the NAWIPS environmental variable to be the directory you
unpacked into. Source the Gemenviron variables into your csh
environment to define $NAWIPS and all the tree locations relative to
NAWIPS. Then, if your system is standard configuration for Solaris,
Solaris for Intel (X86) IRIX, OSF/1, AIX, Linux, HPUX- you should be able 
to just type "make all", followed by "make install" when the compilation 
finishes. 
If you have libraries in non-standard places, then the 
$NAWIPS/config/Makeinc.xxxxx
file for your OS would have to be modified. You should not modify the 
optimization levels since some compilers don't work well with aggressive
optimization.

Documentation for GEMAPK can be found as postscript files under
the $NAWIPS/doc/User_Guide directory, as well as online at:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/tutorial/

All users that use Gempak should source Gemenviron into their csh
environment to define the Gempak variables and add the executable
directory into their path. Once the distribution is installed,
you can edit the data directory locations defined in Gemenviron-
but thats not a priority for building.
