[Met_help] help for installing METv2.0

[John Halley Gotway]

Girmaw,

Let's try sticking with the PGI compilers and debugging those.  MET has
been built with PGI many times, while support for the Intel compilers is
rather new.  Also, I notice in the error message you sent that the
compiler being used is "/usr/lib/ccache/c++".  The Intel compilers I'm
familiar with are named ifort (fortran compiler) and icc (C++ compiler).

Please try building MET with PGI by doing the following:
(1) Set up the top-level MET Makefile to compile MET using the PGI compilers.
(2) Execute a "make clean".
(3) Try building MET with: "make >& make_met.log&"
(4) Send me 2 files, the top-level MET "Makefile" and the output log file
"make_met.log".

Hopefully those 2 files will help me understand the problem.

I don't know if this is feasible or not, but I'd be happy to try to log on
to your system remotely, debug the issue, and build MET.  But I don't know
if your security would allow that remote access.  If so, I'd need to know
a machine name, username, and password to log on remotely.

I'll look for those 2 files.

Thanks,
John Halley Gotway
