[Met_help] Different architectures

[Lacey Holland]

Hi, Steve!


The GNU "gfortran" compiler you mentioned should work just fine for 
compiling MET.  However, you'll need a GNU C++ compiler.  Look for 
either "gCC" or "g++".  Either of those should work fine as C++ 
compilers.  The "gcc" you mentioned is for C (a subtle and confusing 
difference.  :p )


We've had a few other people use MET on 64-bit machines.  With the 
exception of pb2nc, which uses NCO's BUFR library, the other modules 
should compile.  I'd suggest just commenting out the line in the 
Makefile where pb2nc is compiled:

under "targets:", comment out line 192:
# @ cd $(PB2NC);       make CPP_COMPILER=$(CPP_COMPILER) 
F77_COMPILER=$(F77_COMPILER) FLAGS="$(FLAGS)" PGI_LIBS="$(PGI_LIBS
)" --no-print-directory

Also, I wouldn't bother installing the BUFR lib that's described in the 
README and other documentation.  pb2nc is the only module that links to 
it, and it doesn't compile on 64-bit machines, causing pb2nc to fail.  
By commenting out the one line above, though, you should be fine for 
compiling MET.


If you run into problems, I'll be visiting Steve Vasiloff and Steve 
Weiss at the SPC Wednesday/Thursday, so I can maybe help in person. Or, 
you can always just email met_help again.

Take care,
