[Met_help] MET installation problem

[Litta A J]

 Dear sir,

Thank you very much for your mail... Happy to see that. We didn't have gmake
utility in our IBM system.. I have installed that (GNU make 3.81) in my user
account by downloading from  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/make/
It was successfully installed and tried to compile METV2.0. Then also i am
getting the same error.
