[Met_help] error building MET with cygwin/gcc

[John Halley Gotway]

Mike,

I went ahead and requested that the other user tar up his version of MET and send it to me.  Then we'd be able to see what changes he had to make.  If and when I hear back from him, I'll let you know.

Regarding running MET on a 64-bit machine, you could build MET as 32-bit and hopefully PB2NC would also run fine.  If you'd like to try that, this webpage may be of use:
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/known_issues/METv1.0/met_64_bit.php

I'll be out of town starting Monday, August 4th through Wednesday, August 13th.  If something comes up, Randy Bullock may be able to help - just send messages through "met_help at ucar.edu".  If not, I 
could help when I get back in town.

Thanks,
John
