20020204: gempak, ldm


Jeff,

I logged in to Blizzard and Fujita.

I found that the GEMPAK account logs in to the directory
/home/kramer3/users/nawips
that directory has your old GEMPAK 5.4 distribution.
In /home/kramer3/users, nawips is a symbolic link to the nawips-5.4 directory.

Your GEMPAK 5.6 distribution is in
/home/kramer3/users/GEMPAK5.6

To use your 5.6 distribution, you will want to do the following:
cd /home/kramer3/users
rm nawips
ln -s GEMPAK5.6 nawips


I found that your Gemenviron file in /home/kramer3/users/GEMPAK5.6
had an error in the GEMDATA definition. You had:
GEMDATA=/usr/local/ldm/data
It should have been:
GEMDATA=/usr/local/ldm/data/gempak

I fixed that definition in the Gemenviron file.

You don't have any current data in that directory. Looks like you
haven't been running the LDM since Jan 16, 2002.

Due to the security, I can't send an X connection back here to launch
any programs. However, by fixing the above GEMDATA definition, the $TEXT_DATA
environmental variable that NWX uses should now be correct.

NWX won't find any data in the last 48 hours of course, because you don't have
any current data in that directory.

Your ~ldm/decoders directory has symbolic links to the GEMPAK dc* decoders
as /usr/local/nawips/bin/sol. When you make the change of nawips to
point to the GEMPAK 5.6 directory above, these links will be pointing to
the 5.6 programs. You will want to ensure that the pqact.conf actions
correctly use the GEMPAK 5.6 directories for their tables. They are currently
pointing to the 5.4 tables. You can refer to the pqact.conf examples I
provide for GEMPAK in the tutorial.
