bufr2synop cant open bufr tables

Hi

First of all, thank you very much for creating and publishing this nice piece of software.
I have heroically compiled bufr2synop under OS X, but I am unable to make it run.

I use bufr2synop -V -t /usr/local/lib/bufrtables/ -i 20160530104540_ISSH16_EGRR_301000.bufr command, where bufrtables dir contains all ECMWF bufr tables.

The result is

 open error on /home/ma/emos/tables/bufr/text/000396/B0000000000000022000.TXT
KERR=61
Unable to open table C file '/Users/ivo/utils/bufrdump/mastertables/C0000000000000019000.TXT'
Cannot read C Table  File

trying to find the bug myself, I have ended on a fact, that I was not able to locate /home/ma/emos/ string in the source codes.

Any help would be highly appreciated

This path actually is hardcoded in the fortran code of the ECMWF bufr library software. It is used if you do not specify the environment setting BUFR_TABLES to point the software to the location of the BUFR tables. I'm nor sure if bufr2synop should set this for you, or how this is handled on other platforms.
