[Met_help] problems compiling pb2nc

[John Halley Gotway]

Jonathan,

I was experiencing identical error messages on one of the machines on which I build MET here at NCAR.

Using the "-ff2c" compiler option (as mentioned on the known issues page) would work if you were using the GNU compilers, but it appears that you're using PGI.  However, in playing around with it this
afternoon, I was able to get my PGI version to compile.  I did the following:
(1) Build BUFRLIB following the suggestions in the MET User's Guide and described here: http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/compilation/req_libs.php
(2) Remove references to F2C from the top-level MET Makefile... So, empty out the lines for F2C_BASE, F2C_INCS, F2C_LIBS, and F2C_LIBNAME.
(3) Rebuild MET.

Please let me know if that works for you.  I did for me.  We're just removing any mention of the F2C library.

Unfortunately, at this point, I can't tell you exactly what's going on.  It appears that this version of the PGI compiler (I'm running 7.1-5) does not need to link to the F2C library.  Getting the
Fortran code to work well with the C++ has been the most tricky part of MET by far.

Please let me know if this works for you, and, if so, I'll add an entry to the MET Known Issues page.

Thanks,
John Halley-Gotway
