[Met_help] help compiling METv1.1

[John Halley Gotway]

Julie,

Can you tell me what version of Linux you're running (try typing "uname -a")?  If it's the newest Debian-Lenny release, I can tell you that METv1.1 was released before we were able to test on it.
However, we will be testing on Lenny for the next release, METv2.0.

But to answer you're question, yes, I believe you'll need to step through the compilation errors one-by-one and fix them in order to get METv1.1 to build on your machine with your set of compilers.

One alternative would be to try using a different set of compilers.  Do you, by any chance, have the Portland Group (PGI) compilers available?  If so, you may see fewer compilation issues using them.

Sorry for the inconvenience.  We try to do as much testing on different platforms as we can, but we're pretty limited by funding and availability of machines for testing.  Again, if you're able to
provide a list of the modifications you had to make, I can be sure to include them in METv2.0.

Thanks,
John
