Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I have installed all the necessary software for the MET package, but I have
some linking error. It is "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ljasper" for which I
have tried defining compile flags for during runtime. Can you point me to
some tests I should do?

Hello Mark,
I see that you're having some difficulty installing the MET software.
The
jasper library, along with zlib, libpng, and the grib2c library, are
required when compiling support for GRIB2. It's often the case that
jasperlib is already installed somewhere on user's machines.
Try running the locate command to look for it:
locate libjasper.a
If you find it on your system somewhere, we can tell the configure
command
where to look for it. You can use the LDFLAGS option to configure
(./configure --help), like this: LDFLAGS='-
L/path/to/jasperlib/directory'
Where that directory contains the file "libjasper.a".
Otherwise, you could download and install it locally on your machine.
You
can find it on NCEP's website included with the GRIB2 codes:
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/codes/GRIB2/
Hopefully that helps.
Thanks,
John Halley Gotway

Thanks, that does help! I specified it with the flags, but
incorrectly.

I have another question. Freetype, which I downloaded, isn't seen
during
the make install and so I get this
"In file included from cgraph_font.h:22, from cgraph_main.h:25, from
cgraphbase_plottype_to_string.h:38, from
cgraphbase_plottype_to_string.cc:35: /usr/include/ft2build.h:56:38:
error:
freetype/config/ftheader.h: No such file or directory"
I tried to load it the way you described (it is in another folder!),
but it
still is looking in /usr. Can you point me in the right direction
again?
Thanks,
Mark

Mark,
I see that you're having trouble linking to the freetype library. Two
things to mention here:
(1) freetype is currently used in MET only by the plot_mode_field
utility.
That tool actually shares a lot of functionality with the
plot_data_plane
tool. The biggest difference is that plot_mode_field creates png
output
while plot_data_plane creates postscript. You could easily disable
its
compilation by *not* specifying the "--enable-mode_graphics"
configuration
option.
(2) If you would actually like to compile it, you'll just need to the
MET_FREETYPE environment variable. That assumes the header files can
be
found in MET_FREETYPE/include and the library file is found in
MET_FREETYPE/lib. If that's not how it's installed on your system
(and
it's not like that for me), use set MET_FREETYPEINC to the directory
containing the header (*.h) files and MET_FREETYPELIB to the directory
containing libfreetype.a.
After you have those variables set, rerun configure to regenerate the
Makefiles and then try recompiling.

Thanks, it always seems to be something small that's missing.
Everything
compiles without an error now.

Mark,
That's great. Thanks for following up to let me know. I'll go ahead
and
resolve this ticket now, but just let us know if more issues or
questions
arise in your use of MET.
Thanks,
John
