Hi GEMBUDS,

After a number of tries with gfortran I finally got most of GEMPAK to
compile from source using g77 instead. The only apps that failed to
compile are the following:

make[5]: *** [nalarm] Error 1
make[5]: *** [ncolor] Error 1
make[5]: *** [nfax] Error 1
make[5]: *** [nmap2] Error 1
make[5]: *** [nsharp] Error 1
make[5]: *** [ntl] Error 1
make[5]: *** [ntrans] Error 1
make[5]: *** [nwx] Error 1
make[3]: *** [nmap_kiosk] Error 1
make[2]: *** [linux/garp] Error 1

The problem seems to be related to the location of libXm.a and files
that are expected to be located in /usr/X11R6/lib/. These are instead in
/usr/lib/. First I tried symbolically linking to the existing files but
that drew a complaint from the compiler that there were too many links.
I tried copying over the files to /usr/X11R6/lib/ but that didn't work
either. Finally, I searched the GEMBUD lists and found a mod to
Makeinc.linux_g77 that describes where the MOFTIFLIBS are in more recent
Linux distros. That just gets me the following error when compiling
ncolor (for example):

g77 -fno-second-underscore -I/home/gempak/GEMPAK5.10.4/gempak/include
-I/home/gempak/GEMPAK5.10.4/os/linux/include -O    -o ncolor ncolor.o\

                -L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libXm.a -lXm -lXmu -lSM -lICE -lXp
-lXext -L/usr/lib -lXt -lX11 -lm
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXmu
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [ncolor] Error 1

I wonder if anyone else has run into this problem and if you know of an
easy fix?

Thanks for reading this.
