[Met_help] MET installation problem

[John Halley Gotway]

Litta,

It looks like your compiler is having a lot of problems with include files.  For example, it's finding the definition for the "abs" (absolute value function) in two different locations.  This looks
like more of a problem with your compiler than with the MET code itself.  I looked at the include directories on our IBM and found the file "stdlib.h", but I did not find the file "cstdlib".  Those
are the two files on your system which contain the conflicting definitions of "abs".

Unfortunately, there's not much I can do to help.  You'll need to find someone to help you resolve these issues with your compiler.  And it'd be good to compile some simple C++ code using that
compiler to make sure the compiler is working as expected.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
