[Met_help] help compiling METv1.1

[John Halley Gotway]

Julie,

This is the first I've seen this particular compilation error message show up.  And looking at it, I'm really surprised it hasn't shown up before.

In the file "METv1.1/lib/vx_data_grids/src/exp_grid.cc" we're using the "exit" function.  However, we're not including the header which contains the definition for "exit".

Please try the following:
(1) Open up the file ""METv1.1/lib/vx_data_grids/src/exp_grid.cc" for editing.
(2) After the line: #include <iostream>
    Add the line:   #include <stdlib.h>
(3) Try recompiling MET.

If that gets you past the compilation error message from "exp_grid.cc", then that's the fix.  You'll likely need to add that line to other files in that directory as well, such as:
exp_grid.cc, lc_grid.cc, pc_grid.cc, st_grid.cc.

Please let me know how it goes, and if this fixes the problem you're seeing.  This problem with include files may show up in other places as well during the compilation process.  If you're able to let
me know which files you had to modify to get it to compile, I'll make sure they're fixed for the upcoming release of METv2.0 in the next month or so.

Thanks,
John Halley Gotway
