[Met_help] MET2.0 compilation errors

[John Halley Gotway]

Maciek,

Great.  I'm glad that did the trick.  We run Debian Linux here, and I don't have access to a Fedora machine, so I can't check.  But that's interesting.

Just let us know if any more questions come up in your use of MET.

Thanks,
John
