[Met_help] MET2.0 compilation errors

[John Halley Gotway]

Maciek,

The error message you're seeing about not finding -lm on your system means that the linker can't find the math library file named "libm.a".  That math library is a standard library and should exist in
a standard location on your machine.  Meaning we really shouldn't have to tell the linker where to find it.  For example, on my machine it can be found in /usr/lib/libm.a.  If it's not in a place that
the linker can find it, there may be problems with the installation of your compilers.

Here's what I'd suggest trying:
(1) Try locate the file "libm.a" using the following command:
find /usr -name "libm.a"
This says to recursively look in /usr for that file.

(2) Assuming you find it, modify the MET Makefile to tell the linker where to find it.  Use the following setting:
CXX_LIBS = /path/to/library/directory
Where the you set the path to the directory containing the file "libma.".

(3) Try rebuilding MET.

Hopefully that helps, and good luck.
