Paul, Something is amiss in the latest releases. Building GEMPAK should be as simple as make everything once the prerequisite packages are installed. Hopefully Unidata will come up with a fix since more than just you have had build issues with the latest releases, mostly centered around NetCDF. As Patrick said though once it is built it is very reliable. Regards, Robert Mullenax On Dec 16, 2018, at 5:24 PM, phldml3 <phldml3@xxxxxxx<mailto:phldml3@xxxxxxx>> wrote: Patrick, Etal. I've been trying to build from source for some time. Followed instruction and videos found on line. Failed miserably and am exasperated trying that route....thus this attempt at using a built package. Maybe this version is an update rather than a complete build. Details are quite sparse so it is hard for a nubi to say. All help is greatly appreciated! Paul Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7. -------- Original message -------- From: "Patrick L.

However, GEMPAK is not for the faint of heart, but if you love her, she will work with you, without fail or nary an issue [8-)] If you wish to use GEMPAK for specific needs in a production environment, such as deep meteorological analysis or climatological analysis, or for other stable specific needs, I will help walk you through the steps of a stable build since I've been using her from the beginning. One of the many great things about GEMPAK is that once she is built properly, she runs like a Pronghorn Antelope along the steppes of the Continental Divide, and one only need update a table or two for the occasional adaptation that is necessary. [*ALIEN*] Best of luck! --patrick http://GoodFriar.com/ .. _______________________________________________ NOTE: All exchanges posted to Unidata maintained email lists are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and made publicly available through the web.
