RE: 20030128: Gempak - SunOS 8 - pqact.conf and Gempak decoders



OK,  I reloaded GEMPAK as per these instructions and it working.  Thanks for
all your help.

Jim,

The LD_LIBRARY_PATH would be set in the ldm users' login. If you
do not have the fortran77 shareable libraries on your system, then
I suggest downloading them from the portal and installing them
in $GEMLIB....which would be added to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
If you do have them on your system, then typically they would be in
/opt SUNWspro/lib.

On the portal site for downloading the binary distributions, there is a
README
covering the installations of the binaries, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and obtaining
the fortran shareable libraries if necessary.

I will include below to save you the download step.

Steve Chiswell

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation instructions for GEMPAK binary distribution on Solaris:


In the gempak ftp account, you will find the Solaris-Sparc binary tarfiles
under:
nawips-5.6/binary/solaris_sparc/.

Two tarfiles are provided. The gempak_upc5.6_sol.tar.gz tarfile comtains a
complete distribution of all executables, mapfiles, tables needed to run
GEMPAK.
The gempak_upc5.6libs_sol.tar.gz tarfile contains GEMPAK pogram libraries.
You would
need the library tarfile if you were attempting to link your own programs
against GEMPAK.


Once you download the distribution tarfile, unpack it in an empty directory,
typically
/home/gempak/GEMPAK5.6 with the command:
gunzip -c gempak_upc5.6_sol.tar.gz | tar xvf -

Once you have unpacked the tarfile, edit the Gemenviron file and modify
the directory specified by the NAWIPS environmental variable to
the directory name that you unpacked the distribution in (if it is
different than I suggested). You can unpack the libraries tarfile from
the same directory to produce the lib/sol directory as well.

The Gemenviron file contains csh environmental variables which should be
used by any account that wishes to run GEMPAK. After you have edited
Gemenviron, source the contents into your csh environment with the command:
source Gemenviron

Typically, you will want to add this command to your .cshrc file
(using the appropriate path to Gemenviron).

All the GEMPAK data executables are found in the $GEMEXE executable
directory.
Sourcing the Gemenviron script will add the $GEMEXE directory to your
current path. I have also included in the download directory the files:
libF77.so.4, libM77.so.2, libsunmath.so.1, libm.so.1.
If you do not have the SUNWspro environment installed on your system
(typically under /opt/SUNWspro), then the executables will
need these libraries. Create a directory $NAWIPS/lib/sol (aka $GEMLIB) and
place
these libraries in that directory. Next, add this directory to
your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environmental variable:

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${GEMLIB}:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib

You should ne able to run the executables. To verify that the programs find
all the system libraries (include Motif and X11), use the "ldd" command
on the nmap or garp executable:

ldd $GEMEXE/garp

if this replies that any libraries are not found, you will need to obtain
those.

The pqact.conf examples for the decoders typically need
to find ancillary station and packing tables from the
GEMPAK distribution. You should ensure that these paths are correctly
set for where you installed the GEMPAK tarfile on your system.
I usually copy the $GEMEXE/dc* programs into ~ldm/decoders for
convenience- and to make upgrading the GEMPAK distribution easier.


The NWX patterns for pqact.conf are just FILE actions and so decoders
are not needed, except for the entries that use the ldmConnect perl script
from the ~ftp/pub/decoders/decoders.tar.Z distribution. This perl script
joins together bulletins that are transmitted in several pieces.
