[Met_help] Problem with METv2.0

Wed May 12 10:22:05 MDT 2010

Asnor,

In order to build MET, you'll need to do the following:
(1) Build NetCDF.
(2) Build GSL.
(3) Build BUFRLIB (if you want to use PREPBUFR observations).
(4) Set up the paths in MET Makefile for NetCDF, GSL, and BUFRLIB.

Let me point you to two places for more details:
- Look in the file "METv2.0/README" and search for the section titled "How to compile and run?".
- Take a look at the compilation section of the MET Online Tutorial:
   http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv2.0/compilation/index.php

And lastly, before building MET, I'd suggest retrieving the latest set of patches from:
   http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/known_issues/METv2.0/index.php

Just read and follow the instructions in the first section titled "All Recommended Updates".

Hope that helps and good luck,
John
