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

Hi,

I have downloaded and built METv5.1. (Downloaded both met-5.1.20151026.tar.gz, and met-5.1_patches_20151106.tar.gz ). 
Now I'm trying to run the MODE tool on my data, but I'm getting error messages about finding the color table file.
I have installed into directory /data/users/user/met-5.1, and it seems to be wanting to look for colortable files in /data/users/user/met-5.1/share/met/data/colortables/. When I look in the build directory hierarchy, I find the colortables directory in /data/users/user/met-5.1/share/met/colortables/.

Could you point me to where I need to make a change in order for it to be able to find the color table files properly, please?

The run-time error message I am getting is:
/data/users/user/met-5.1/bin/mode fcst.31897.grib anal.31897.grib mode_wind.cfg -outdir N768/thresh60

Hi Rachel.

Please check to see if the MET_BASE environment variable is set.  If
it is,
please unset it and try running MODE again.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Thank you very much for this.
Yes, this allowed me to find the problem (which was with the MET_BASE
setting).
MODE is now working beautifully!
