[Met_help] MET2.0 compilation errors

[John Halley Gotway]

Maciek,

Great.  Glad that did the trick!

Do be sure to run the test scripts in the scripts sub-directory.  In particular, make sure the "test_pb2nc.sh" script runs without error.  That's the one that's most likely to have runtime issues.

Just let us know if more questions arise in your use of MET.

Thanks,
John
