[Met_help] MET install error

[John Halley Gotway]

Luke,

I see that you're trying to use gcc and f77 to compile MET - as was suggested in the MET User's Guide.  Unfortunately, that was an error, we should have listed g++ as the preferred compiler rather
than gcc.  In fact, that mistake is currently listed on the Errata page for the MET Users Guide (http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/docs/users_guide/MET_Users_Guide_v0.9_Errata.php).

I apologize for the trouble it's caused.  Please try using the g++ compiler rather than the gcc compiler.
So in your top-level Makefile, change the C++ compiler
from: CPP_COMPILER = /usr/bin/gcc
to:   CPP_COMPILER = /usr/bin/g++
Assuming that you have g++ installed in that directory.

Also, prior to re-making MET, please do a "make clean" first.  Anytime you encounter an error in the compilation, it's a good idea to do a "make clean" prior to executing "make" again.

Give that a try and please let us know if you run into any more problems in the installation process.

Thanks,
John Halley Gotway
