[GEMPAK #KWK-343754]: GOES-15 imagery (WEST-CONUS)

Luis, 

Can you confirm that you are sourcing the 6.4.0 Gemenviron file, having changes 
the ~gempak/NAWIPS/ symbolic link to the new GEMPAK6.4.0/ directory?  Can you 
also confirm that the command "which gpmap" and "which nmap2" are pointing to 
the 6.4.0 executables?

You will also want to update the ~ldm/decoders/ to the 6.4.0 versions (you can 
simply "cp $OS_BIN/dc* ~ldm/decoders/" as the LDM user to accomplish this), 
though this should not be the reason for GEMPAK not displaying the GOES-15 
images.
