[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #73908] History for Problem building MET with grib2 - jasper, etc

[John Halley Gotway via RT]

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

I'm having a problem building MET when trying to build in grib2 support.  MET builds properly without grib2 (this is met-5.1) but filas on unable to find ljasper.  jasper on our system is in a non-traditional path and make can't find it.  Is there a way to specify the path to jasper lib and jasper include without having to install a copy in a standard place on the system?  I'm thinking of env variables, like MET_GRIB2CLIB and MET_GSL.  Is there a MET-friendly variable to set so that I can point to jasper (and maybe png as well) without having to reinstall?
Thanks in advance for you help in this matter.

George,

I see that you're having trouble compiling GRIB2 support for MET and
need
to tell it where to look for JASPER.  Some of the output from the
configure
command should point you in the right direction:

cd met-5.1
./configure --help
...
  LDFLAGS     linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in
a
              nonstandard directory <lib dir>
...

Try setting the LDFLAGS environment variable to
"-L/path/to/directory/containing/jasperlib".  Then rerun configure and
make
install.

I'm not positive that this will fix it since I haven't tested it
myself,
but hopefully that'll do it.

Please let me know how it goes.

Thanks,
John Halley Gotway

John,
Thanks so much for your speedy and very helpful reply.  I set LDFLAGS
to point to the jasper path, did a make clean and configure, and the
make install ran perfectly.  And now that I'll look beyond the first
page of output from ./configure --help   :), I think that  adding the
remaining tools will be straightforward.
Thanks a gain
