Pete,

Did you also build the LDM on CentOS 7?  If so what was your experience?

    Steve,

    I built GEMPAK 7.1.0 on CentOS 7 64 bit and from what I remember,
    there were no issues, compiled out of the box. Which kind of
    surprised me, because there are a LOT of changes between CentOS
    6.x and CentOS 7.

    I did have to add in values for GARPHOME and GARP_PATH to the
    Gemenviron file to get garp to run, but as far as I can tell it's
    running fine.

            Hi,

            I'm curious if anyone here has built GEMPAK from source on
            CentOS 7. Are there any issues to be aware of? We have a
            new machine and are debating which CentOS to put on it.


        i have one gempak installation on centos 6.5 because that's
        what is stated for awips II edex / cave... i have found over
        the years that for GEMPAK / ldm only, debian works the best
        for me, but that's just personal preference.. since raytheon /
        unidata are sticking with centos for awips II, i gave it a
        shot.. if you double check you prerequisites, and check your
        logs for errors during compile (dev versions is what I often
        miss on a fresh box), you'll be fine

        cheers,
