Steve,Thanks for the interesting news. I appreciate your efforts to expand GEMPAK's Mac capabilities.

Steve, Russ was able to let me test out Max OS 10.4.1 (Tiger plus an update,which provides Darwin 8.1.0) on his laptop, and I can get a message queue to work now, and have been able to build openmotif so I will be able to put together a test binary distribution to kick the tires on. Our OSX workstation is still running Panther, so development is limited to when Russ' laptop is on the network here.Steve Chiswell Unidata User SupportAntti, MacOSX is not a platform that I support at this time for GEMPAK due to the limitation of the OS support for the SYSV message queues.The package will build using open motif and g77/gcc ( I tested using Fink's distributions). Decoders and GUIs will run, while command line programs that use message queue's build will not. Developers environments for X11 andMotif are needed.At the time I tested, the Apple gcc/g77 had a version incompatibility withlibg2c, which led me to use the Fink version.

How about generally using Mac as a Visualization Lab platform for Unidata software? Any comments welcome!
