Hi,
I recently compiled GEMPAK 6.8.0 on a mini-Mac(OS X version 10.6.8). It
seemed to compile fine, but one problem I ran into regards one
functionality of Nmap2. The "Restore Data Settings" button(within the
Data Selection Window) doesn't work. I created a map with radar imagery
and surface observations superimposed. I clicked on the "Save Data
Settings" button. Later, when I tried to bring up the same setting, the
program crashes. This doesn't occur with Gempak on my Linux(CentOS)
machine. Another quirk I found is that Nmap2 nor the program, gpmap,
will plot a vgf file(only the map background shows up). Again, it's not
a problem on my Linux machine(using the same data files).
Have others noticed these problems, and is there a solution for it? The
reason I'm using a Mac in this case it that it'll be a replacement for a
Department display for the public. The current min-mac uses binary
version of GEMPAK 5.11.1. I need to upgrade GEMPAK to be able to display
gini satellite imagery(just copying the latest satellite configuration
tables don't work for gini imagery). The closet space behind the display
case is just large enough to accommodate a mini-mac.
