Hi Dave, Can you send me a sample GEMPAK grid file that you've experienced problems. I have GEMPAK installed on an Ubuntu 32-bit server at home (9.10 Karmic) and will try to replicate your error. I want to try the following: 1) Test a sample grid file you provide to try and replicate your error on an Ubuntu 32-bit server and Cent-OS Server 2) Compare *.out files to see if there are any differences. From what I remember I had little if any error messages in the *.out files. I've run into the error you're experiencing "grid cannot be found" when using GDDIAG on a CentOS 32-bit server. It was very odd that GDINFO would see the grid, but GDDIAG didn?t. The main problem with that GEMPAK installation was that it compiled with gfortran instead of g77. After reinstalling GEMPAK with g77, that problem was resolved. Reinstalling with g77 took several attempts because of an oversight on my end. The GEMPAK user account set GEMPAK environmental variables each time I logged in (Gemenviron in a previous GEMPAK build). One of the environmental variables was "USE_GFORTRAN=1". So even though the newer GEMPAK build Gemenviron had "USE_G77=1", GFORTRAN was actually used to install GEMPAK. After 3 or 4 tries I finally realized what was going on and got it installed correctly.

Programs like SFLIST work fine. GDINFO works fine to read a gem grid. However the plotters do not find the required variables, even after verifying their presence with GDINFO. They will start a GPLT process and generate a window, but no variable is plotted. GDPLOT will even produce a political basemap, but again no variable is found or plotted. The error issued predictably is [DG -7] Input grid TMPK ^1001180000F006 @500 %PRES cannot be found. gfortran was used (g77 is unavailable now for later releases of Ubuntu - this version is 9.10 Karmic) The errors in make.out fall into three categories: First type: /usr/include/bits/fcntl2.h:51: error: call to '__open_missing_mode' declared with attribute error: open with O_CREAT in second argument needs 3 arguments Second type: xmltransform.c:10:26: error: libxslt/xslt.h: No such file or directory ** various missing libraries like this ** Third type: Warnings that looked problematic, dealing with a need for "End expression in Do loop at (1) must be integer" So - I rather suspect that libraries are missing or aren't properly up to date (eg the first error type). The Ubuntu version 9.10 was released late fall 2009, so it is pretty new. I followed the installation info and installed motif (and not lesstif) and the other development libraries, to the extent I recognized them. Clearly something is yet missing. Here are the packages I installed under Ubuntu/debian: > libmotif-dev (these include various dependencies such as libmotif3) > libxp-dev > libxt-dev > libpng12-dev I have attached the make.out, install.out and clean.out files, along with output from GDINFO and a screenshot of the GDCNTR failure.
