[Met_help] Compilation failed MET v2.0

[John Halley Gotway]

Isma,

I see by the information you sent that you're using the c++ and f77 compilers.  Let me suggest that you instead try using: gcc, g++, and gfortran.  Please check if those compilers are available on
your machine by typing:
   which gcc
   which g++
   which gfortran

If they are available, please try compiling BUFRLIB as follows:
   rm *.o *.a
   gcc -c -DUNDERSCORE *.c
   gfortran -c -DUNDERSCORE -fno-second-underscore *.f *.F
   ar crv libbufr.a *.o

And then in you MET Makefile, set:
   CXX = g++
   FC  = gfortran

If you do not have gfortran available on your system, you could use f77 instead.  But then you will need to also link to the "f2c" or "g2c" library.  That library may already be on your machine
(libg2c.a or libf2c.a) or you could download/compile it locally.  When you compile with gfortran, you do NOT need that library.

Here's a couple of other things to tell you:

(1) You may find the MET Online Tutorial to be helpful:
   http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv2.0/index.php
    In particular, there is a section on compiling MET:
   http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv2.0/compilation/index.php

(2) If you haven't already done so, please retrieve the latest set of patches for METv2.0 from here:
   http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/known_issues/METv2.0/index.php
    Just follow the directions in the first section titled "All Recommended Updates".

Please let us know if you continue to experience problems compiling/running MET.

Thanks,
John Halley Gotway
