[Met_help] Met compile error

Priyanka,

I'm glad you were able to get it to compile.  Don't know why you still have those GSL errors.  Since they say "multiple definitions" of things, I'd guess it may be conflicting with another version of
GSL somewhere on your machine.  And you're right, GSL has a silly include file structure.  I'm glad you figured it out.

I believe the MET tutorial is full.  However, we'll be posting the presentations once it's completed.  And instructions for the practical sessions can be found here:
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/OnLinePractical/OnLinePractical_709/index.php

Feel free to work through the exercises and let us know if you have any questions.  We're happy to help.

Thanks,
John
