[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #83960] History for Trouble with Met 6.1 install

Tue Feb 27 08:58:17 MST 2018

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

Hi all,

I've included my log file (make_install) from my most recent attempt to compile and install MET 6.1.  This is the same machine which we had 5.2 running on-so I'm not sure where the issues may be arriving from.  Are there any libraries that need to be updated from our 5.2 installation that could be causing the trouble?  I was hoping I could plug 6.1 into the existing structure, but something is amiss.

Before I go tearing all the libraries and dependencies apart and starting from scratch, I was hoping you could maybe point me in the right direction as to what the problem may be.  It appears to my untrained eyes that the trouble could be with the netCDF libraries, but I could use some expert opinion!

Thanks!
-Tom

Hi Tom.

Thank you for your interest in upgrading to METv6.1.  There have been
significant enhancements and bug fixes to the code since version 5.2.
Unfortunately, with regard to plugging METv6.1 in to the existing
structure, with METv6.0 we made a large change from using NetCDF 3 to
4.
You'll need to have both NetCDF4 and HDF5, upon which NetCDF4 is built
installed.

There is an additional environment variable that will need to be set,
with
the addition of HDF5:
Set *$MET_HDF5* to point to the main HDF5 directory.

Also, both the NetCDF-C package (netcdf-c-4.4.1.1) and the NetCDF-CXX
package (netcdf-cxx4-4.3.0) are required.

Here is a link to our online tutorial instructions for compiling
METv6.1:

https://dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv6.1/tutorial.php?name=compilation&category=req_libs

Once you have gotten all of the information about the required and
optional
libraries on that page, please continue on to the Configuration
section to
be sure you have configured MET correctly for installation:

https://dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv6.1/tutorial.php?name=compilation&category=configure

Please follow up with any additional questions you may have in this
ticket,
and please let us know if you get a successful install.

I hope this helps!

Thanks,
Julie

Thanks, Julie!  I figured it wasn't going to be that easy.  But a man
can hope.

I'll be working on this today, tearing it down and re-building.  I
will keep you apprised of my progress, because I'm sure I'll mess
something up at one point.

One quick question, regarding the netCDF installation as outlined in
the tutorial--
After setting environmental variables for the compilers, it notes to
'Set MET_LIB_DIR to your installation directory'.  Should this be set
to the netCDF installation directory, or MET's installation directory?

Thanks!
-Tom

Subject: Trouble with Met 6.1 install
From: Julie Prestopnik

Hi Tom.

METv7.0 (to be released relatively soon) should be an easier
installation
process, with the required libraries being the same as 6.0 and 6.1.

In the compilation instructions for the NetCDF libraries, MET_LIB_DIR
refers to the MET installation directory, and therefore NetCDF would
get
installed at ${MET_LIB_DIR}/external_libs/lib and
${MET_LIB_DIR}/external_libs/include
(from using --prefix).  That is where we installed NetCDF's
dependencies as
well.  You don't have to set it up like that though.  We just provided
an
example of how we installed it for others to use if they would like.
The
important thing is the NetCDF can find it's dependencies by using
LDFLAGS
and CPPFLAGS.

I hope that helps.
