[Met_help] pb2nc error

[John Halley Gotway]

Mike,

I have actually been able to compile MET successfully (including pb2nc) on a 64-bit machine using the latest version of BUFRLIB.  Please do try building MET as 64-bit using the GNU compilers.

So that means the following:
- Recompile BUFRLIB without the 32-bit mode.
- Comment out the -m32 options in the top-level MET Makefile.
- Make sure you point to the 64-bit version of NetCDF compiled using GNU.

Rebuild MET and rerun 'test_pb2nc.sh'.  Please give that a try and let me know if you continue to experience problems in the compilation or test scripts.

Thanks,
John
