Lameque,

This compilation error is caused by a bug for which a fix has already
been posted to the MET website:
    http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/known_issues/METv4.0/index.php

The bugfix was posted on 6/29/2012 and is titled:
    Added gslcblas library to Makefile link list for madis2nc,
plot_point_obs and gen_poly_mask

Please just follow the instructions at the top of that page to
retrieve the latest set of bugfixes for METv4.0, and then recompile
MET.

Please let me know if you still experience problems.

Thanks,
John Halley Gotway

Hi Jhon,
Thank you for your help. The compiling process successful now. But,
when I

file.
Kindly advise.

Matimbe,

When you compiled MET, we had you remove the "-static" flag from the
user_defs.mk file.  That means that we compiled MET to perform dynamic
(or runtime) linking.  When you run the MET tools, the
linker needs to know where to find the libraries on which MET depends.
Here's the runtime error you're seeing:
    error while loading shared libraries: libnetcdf_c++.so.4: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

That's the linker complaining that it doesn't know where to find the
NetCDF shared object file it needs for dynamic linking.  The fix for
this is pretty easy.  We just need to tell the linker where to
find that file.  And you do that using the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
environment variable.

Try adding the NetCDF library directory to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
then running one of the MET tools.  Here, I'm assuming your using the
C-Shell:

   csh
   cd METv4.0
   setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH
${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/home/lameque/MET/netcdf/lib
   bin/pcp_combine

Hopefully the tool will run now and you'll see the usage statement
rather than the linker error.  If that fixed the problem, add the
NetCDF library directory to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in your shell
configuration files (~/.cshrc, ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile).

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
John
