[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #38402] History for METv2 installation

[RAL HelpDesk {for John Halley Gotway}]

----------------------------------------------------------------
  Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Met Help,

I’m trying to install the METv2 but I’m stuck with the 
time_strings.cc file and I can figure out how to solve my 
problem.

Following your suggestions I’ve installed all the required 
libraries and optional utilities and update METv2 with the 
recommended updates (METv2 patches). Still, I’m having 
problems.

I attach my MAKEFILE and the make_met.log file and my OS 
is Linux (OpenSuSE v11.2.

Thanks in advanced,
Susana

Susana,

We're trying to figure out this same problem with another user right
now.  We
are going to have access to that user's machine (which is Ubuntu) and
we hope to
solve the problem.  When we do, we will let you know what we found.

We noticed that your Makefile has the following setting:

CXX_LIBS = /usr/lib/gcc

This is not the default, and we were wondering why you added that
setting?  Have
you tried to compile a very simple c++ program that includes the
sprintf()
function?  If not, that may shed light on your problem, which looks
like a
compiler configuration problem.

We'll let you know when we have more information about your problem.

Thanks,

Paul

Susana,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.  I see that you're using
GNU version 4.4.  We've been using GNU version 4.3 in our development,
and it's recently come to our attention that we need to make a few
minor changes when compiling with version 4.4.  I've attached a tar
file to this message that includes both the latest patches from the
MET website and the changes needed to compile with version 4.4.
Please do the following:

(1) Download the attached tar file and place it into your top-level
METv2.0 directory.
(2) Uncompress and untar it:
   > gunzip METv2.0_patches_gnu4.4_20100618.tar.gz
   > tar -xvf METv2.0_patches_gnu4.4_20100618.tar
(3) Edit your top-level Makefile and remove "/usr/lib/gcc"
(4) Try rebuilding MET.

Please let us know how it goes.  Since I don't have access to GNU 4.4,
I can't directly test this - so I'm not 100% certain it will work.

Thanks,
John Halley Gotway
