20030128: Gempak - SunOS 8 - pqact.conf and Gempak decoders



Jim,

In your pqact.conf file:

# US and Canadian sfc obs and specials
#
WMO     ^S[AP].* .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])
        PIPE    decoders/dcmetr -v 2 -a 500 -m 72 -s sfmetar_sa.tbl
        -d data/gempak/logs/dcmetr.log
        -e GEMTBL=/Nawips/gempak5.6/gempak/tables
        data/gempak/surface/YYYYMMDD_sao.gem
#
#

The above should be correct, if you have already created your
~ldm/data/gempak/surface and ~ldm/data/gempak/logs directories.

Check on those directories to see if they exist. If so,
then what is in the dcmetr.log file? 

If you downloaded a Solaris binary distribution, then make sure the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH you have correctly locates the shareable libraries
(probably not a problem if you built locally). To test, as your
LDM user account type: "ldd dcmetr".
A list of the shareable library mappings should be present. If 
any aren't found, then you will need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
as appropriate for your system.

Let me know the outcome of above.
