Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I recently installed MET 5.1 and upon trying to run point-stat and
grid-stat tools I get this error:
"error while loading shared libraries: libgsl.so.0: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory"
I know this means I didn't configure MET correctly to find the gsl library,
however I see the libgsl.so file in the directory that I set as an
environmental variable when configuring it: "setenv MET_GSLLIB
/home/Shannon.McElhinney/GSL/gsl-1.9/lib". Here is the content of that
directory:
libgsl.a libgslcblas.so@ libgsl.la*
libgsl.so.0.10.0*
libgslcblas.a libgslcblas.so.0@ libgsl.so@ pkgconfig/
libgslcblas.la* libgslcblas.so.0.0.0* libgsl.so.0@
Do you know how I can point MET to this correctly?
Best,

Hi Shannon.
By default, MET version 5.1 is compiled using dynamic linking. Rather
than
compiling the external library code in with the MET executables (which
is
called static linking), it looks for them at runtime. And it's
looking for
those "shared object" (.so) library files.
This is easy to fix... we just need to tell it where to find them, and
we
do that by setting (or adding to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH). Look in your
~/.cshrc file. If LD_LIBRARY_PATH is already defined in there, add
"/usr/local/lib" to the end of it. If not, add:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib
Then save the change and source that file:
source ~/.cshrc
Please let me know if that fixes the issue.
Thanks,
Julie
