[Met_help] Install failed

[Paul Oldenburg]

Laura,

We have not done much mac support in the past.  I'm not terribly familiar with
the file system on a mac, but I do know that the strange folder name that I
pointed out in the make_met.log is almost certainly causing your problem.  If
you run make from /Users/laura/METv2.0, why is make attempting to access
resources in /var/folders/Xx/Xxq0XtV...?  I don't see that folder anywhere in
your Makefile.  The answer to that question will probably solve your problem.  I
have a feeling that symbolic links are involved, like perhaps /Users/laura is a
symbolic link to another folder?  Or perhaps the gsl or netcdf libraries are
built in folders that are symbolically linked?

If you are stuck, I would suggest seeking help from a mac support individual.
Sorry I don't have more specific suggestions.  Please let us know if there is
anything else we can do to help.

Paul
