[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #42052] History for Upgrade to MET 3

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

I was looking in the documentation (release notes and user guide) and it seemed to written more for an initial installation instead of an upgrade.   Should I place all the files in the same directories that the version 2 is in?  Do I need to redownload  BUFLIB, NetCDF, GSL and recompile all?  Are all my data and config files in the previous MET directory structure going to be safe (not erased)?

Thanks
Bob Craig

Bob,

Yes, there's isn't really an "upgrade" option.  It is really just a
new build.  I'd put the METv3.0 tar file at the same level as the
existing METv2.0 directory.  When you untar/uncompress that file,
it'll create a new directory named METv3.0.  Regarding BUFRLIB,
NetCDF, and GSL, you should just be able to link to the existing
versions you have rather than rebuilding them.

Please do be sure to retrieve the latest set of patches for METv3.0
from:
   http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/known_issues/METv3.0/index.php

When you configure the METv3.0 Makefile, just copy over the settings
you used in your METv2.0 Makefile for:
  CXX, FC, NETCDF_BASE, BUFR_BASE, and GSL_BASE

And if you'd like to compile the WWMCA tools, you'll need enable their
compilation by setting:
   DISABLE_TOOLS = 0

And then compile METv3.0 by typing "make" in the top-level directory.
When you run the METv3.0 tools, by default, they'll write their output
to the METv3.0/out/tool_name directory.  You can always
override that using the "-outdir" command line option.

Please give that a shot and let us know if you run into any problems.

Thanks,
John

make: 1254-058 Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue.

The make file is attached.  Diffing this file with the previous
indicates all
the paths have be set properly.

Any ideas.
