Hello Paul

I hope everything is fine in Reading. We have winter temperatures here in
Split...

I am trying to install Metview 4 on my laptop, but have entered in some
problems. Earlier I have already installed it on my server from the rpm-s
you sent, and on my desktop from source. So this is not the firs time, but
the problems came out now.

So i have:

OpenSUSE 12.1 32-bit
GribApi 1.9.16
EmosLib 000382
Magics++ 2.14.11

Everything works fine. Then I started the instalation of Metview. The
"Configure" stage passed OK. Then when I started "make" it worked for
10-15 minutes, compiling... When I expected to be finished, I got some
error messages. Here is the listing:

../metview -b generate_list_of_macro_functions.mv

linux-4t33 is the name of the localhost. I hope somebody can figure out
where the problem is. Thank you!
