To produce plots, Magics must be installed:

• Magics++ (2.22 24.0 or higher is required)

  • should be configured with the -DENABLE_METVIEW=ON option

  • for a 'pure batch' installation of Metview with no user interface, it is possible to supply Magics with the option -DENABLE_METVIEW_NO_QT=ON

The following two libraries need to be installed (both are required, even if you will not handle GRIB or BUFR data):

• GRIB_API (1.9.9 or higher is required)

  • see the Installation FAQ for details of building GRIB_API for Metview, as this contains some important information

• Emoslib

  • version 392:

    • compiled with double floating point precision (answer “y” to “Do you want 64-bit reals? [y,n]”)

    • must be built with GRIB_API support

    • 64-bit versions should be built with -fPIC compilation flag

    • Remember to set the ARCH environment variable before building Emoslib, e.g. export ARCH=linux.
  • OR
    
  • version 400 or above:
    • compiled with double floating point precision (this is the default)
      

...

• Qt (4.6.2 or later) if building the user interface (default=yes)
  note that on some systems it is also necessary to install the libQtWebKit-devel development package (it may have different names on different systems)

• NetCDF library with C++ interface
  (http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/)

• OpenMotif (if  if enabling the old user interface with -DENABLE_MOTIF=ON, but OFF is the default)

• gdbm

• ImageMagick (Metview uses the convert command during the build process)
• ksh - the Korn Shell is used by Metview's startup script and some other internal scripts
