[GEMPAK #JXG-744458]: Missing GEM files on new servers

Scott,

You're going to want to look at pqact.gempak_decoders in ~ldm/etc/GEMPAK to 
resolve the path issue.  It sounds like the setup on your old machine was in 
the form of $GEMDATA/model/eta/, for example, while the new setup is either 
different or hasn't been fully configured yet.

Look for entries in this file that specify (or try to specify) the $GEMDATA 
directory, such as data/gempak/model/eta/YYYYMMDD...

Be sure to check:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/gempak/GEMPAK/configuration.html 

for instructions on how to configure GEMPAK with the LDM if you haven't 
completed that step yet.

Best,
