I'm very glad to hear that!

the command "make everything" will execute all of

make distclean
make all
make install
make programs_gf
make programs_nc

but will not execute make programs_gif because the _gif make is only available 
for a select few programs, GEMPAK build is not designed to go through the 
programs source code hierarchy for _gif builds. 

A solution would be: 

* edit $GEMPAK/source/programs/gd/gdplot2/Makefile
* change line 241 from

programs_gf: $(PROG_GF)

to

programs_gf: $(PROG_GF) ($PROG_GIF)

which will build gdplot2_gif during the "make programs_gf" portion of "make 
everything"
