Describe the Task

As reported by a user via met-help (https://rt.rap.ucar.edu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=95051), met-9.0.1 does not compile using the PGI version 19 compilers. The compilation error is in the vx_nc_obs library:

1 catastrophic error detected in the compilation of "nc_obs_util.cc".
Compilation aborted.
pgc++-Fatal-/usr/local/pgi/linux86-64-nollvm/19.10/bin/pggpp1 TERMINATED by signal 6

Julie Prestopnik tested using PGI 19.9 on Cheyenne and was able to replicate this compilation error. This task is to update met-9.1 to once again compile using the PGI compilers.

You can find the test environment on cheyenne in /glade/p/ral/jntp/MET/MET_cross_platform_testing/met-9.0.1/pgi

Ideally, we could automate the testing of MET using PGI compilers via Docker containers, but there would likely be issues with the PGI license file.

Time Estimate

1 day.
