[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #95328] History for Compiling GRIB2 Support with a pre-existing MET build

[Minna Win via RT]

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

Good morning!

I am trying to use the point-stat tool to conduct verification on model
data in grib2 format. Additionally, I am using a MET build (Version 8.0)
which was previously compiled by a colleague in my research group. When
running MET, I get the following error:

ERROR  : Met2dDataFileFactory::new_met_2d_data_file() -> Support for GRIB2
has not been compiled!

After consulting the documentation, it appears that when my colleague
configured MET, he did not include support for grib2 data. Ideally, I would
prefer to continue using the existing MET build, so I wanted to know if it
would be possible to compile GRIB2 support without having to "start from
scratch". If so, what would be the appropriate way to go about doing this?

Thank you for your time and help,
-Chase Graham

Hello Chase,

It looks like you'd like to enable GRIB2 support in MET.  What you can
do
is reconfigure and recompile your current version of MET using a
command
like the following (from the directory where you MET-8.0 is
installed):

*./configure --prefix=`pwd` --enable-grib2 --enable-modis
--enable-mode_graphics --enable-lidar2nc --enable-python*

You can find a list of the modules you can activate here:


https://dtcenter.org/met-online-tutorial-metv8-0/tutorial-
setup/compilation/configure-met

You can look at the make_install_log that was created by your
colleague
when MET was originally compiled to see which modules were enabled.
You
may need to compile the grib2 libraries, the instructions are here:


https://dtcenter.org/met-online-tutorial-metv8-0/tutorial-
setup/compilation/required-libraries

  (Scroll down to the section "Compiling GRIB2 C-Library")

Then finally, you will need to compile:
  *make install >& make_install.log &*
*  tail -f make_install.log*

 The second command is useful to check for any error messages that may
arise during compilation.

I hope that helps you get your grib2 module enabled in MET.

Regards,
Minna
