Hello,
We just went through all this - tried initially with Ubuntu 9.10 (debian
based) and ran into very persistent, odd compile errors even after
installing very library package we could see. The compile would mostly
work - sflist, gdinfo etc would work okay - but routines like gdplt2
would run, draw a base map, then not find the data layer in the gridded
file to contour, even though gdinfo had just seen it. And the grid file
was okay because I have another machine beside me with a working GEMPAK
that I tested it on. It seemed to "loose track" of libxml2 libraries
part-way through the build. There is probably an enviromental pointer
that is not set properly etc. Anyhow, after a lot of fooling around went
over to CentOS 5, put in the 5.11.1 binaries, installed a missing
libgfortran library set (missing libgfortran.so.1 specifically but just
installed the entire lib set), and it worked ok. So - I would recommend
CentOS 5 with a GEMPAK 5.11.1 binary set.

HI, all:
I'm attempting to install GEMPAK in my PC. There are many linux
distributions, such as Redhat, SUSE, CentOS....
Which is good for GEMPAK?
Thanks!
