Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello:
As noted yesterday, I was able to successfully make/install MET9.0.1 (and
now 9.0.2) on a Debian 10 VM running in VirtualBox on a Windows 10 host. I
was also able to make/install on a Linux host via QEMU/Virt-Manager running
a Debian 10 guest.
Enabling mode_graphics support, which in-turn requires Freetype and Cairo,
is misbehaving. Although libpng was compiled and installed in
external_libs, Freetype can't find it and fails.

Note it can't find zlib either, but it's in the external_libs, too.

Do I need to export environment variables in install_met_env for freetype
to find 'em?
If I omit --enable-mode_graphics (and therefore Freetype and Cairo),
everything compiles just fine.
I was trying to think of a space-weather use-case for MODE graphics and I
could see it applied to our CTIPe MUF, ROTI, and GloTEC model products
since they produce "blobs" that can be tracked and compared to observations.
Not necessarily a show-stopper at this point, but should probably work it
out.
Freetype's configure.log is included as an attachment.
Cheers,
Rob

Hi Rob,
Glad to hear that you were able to install MET. And thanks for
patiently
working through the installation details with Julie. As you
experienced,
there's still a lot of room for improvement in the installation
process.
I see that you're having compilation issues with the freetype library.
While I do recommend using the --enable-grib2 and --enable-python
compilation options to install support for GRIB2 and Python embedding,
I
really wouldn't waste any time on the --enable_mode_graphics option.
That
option enables compilation of the plot_mode_field utility, which
writes png
output. But the functionality of that tool really isn't much different
from
the functionality of the plot_data_plane utility. In fact as we
develop
additional plotting functionality in the METplotpy repository
(currently
under development), it might make sense to replace plot_mode_field
entirely
with Python plotting scripts.
So that's my advice. But if you're determined and would still like to
see
it through, just let me know, and I'll reassign this ticket to Julie
Prestopnik for her to take a look.
Thanks,
John

Thanks for the info, John.

We tend to agree with that. Thanks for letting us know. I'll go
ahead and
close this ticket.
