[Met_help] Re: Fwd: MET compilation and NETCDF library on NCAR machine

[John Halley Gotway]

Segayle,

Your MET help question was forwarded to me from the WRF-Help folks.  For future reference, please direct all MET related questions to the MET-Help email address: met_help at ucar.edu.

Regarding your question about building MET on lightning...

I believe the errors you're seeing come from using inconsistent sets of compilers.  The NetCDF library to which you're linking (/usr/local/apps/netcdf-3.6.2) was built using PGI compilers.  However,
you're trying to build MET using the GNU g++/g77 compilers.  Instead, I'd suggest using the PGI compilers on ligthning.  I've build METv1.1 on lightning in /gpfs/lightning/johnhg/MET_releases/METv1.1.

Take a look at the Makefile I used in /gpfs/lightning/johnhg/MET_releases/METv1.1/Makefile.  You'll need to rebuild BUFRLIB using the PGI compilers before rebuilding MET.  Or I suppose you could just
link to my PGI version of BUFRLIB in /gpfs/lightning/johnhg/MET_releases/external_libs/bufrlib.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
John Halley-Gotway
