I am running WRF in serial mode with the Katrina case study as guided in the online tutorial.
I am using version 4.2.1

./real.exe generates this error:
ERROR in psfc: flag_psfc =1, flag_soilhgt =1, flag_slp =0, sfcp_to_sfcp =F
FATAL CALLED
FATAL CALLED FROM FILE: <stdin> LINE:1378
not enough info for a p sfc computation

I have attached the namelist.input file.
Also I cannot see the rsl.out and rsl.error files in the em_real directory. So does that mean these are not generated? or are these located somewhere else?

Hi,
I verified the error you are getting. These cases are very old, with old data. I just updated the single-domain case (and all cases that use that data) to a newer case (you may need to refresh your web browser to see the changes - it should now be Hurricane Matthew). Can you try the new case and see if that works better? Please let me know if you find any mistakes, as there were a LOT of places to make code changes. Thanks!

As for the rsl.* files, you will not get those unless you have compiled the code with distributed memory (dmpar). If you are running serially, it's best to send the output to an error log. For e.g.,
Code: 
./wrf.exe >& wrf.log

wrf_tutorial page give a wrong case tar file.
file link should be (https://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/TUTORIAL_DATA/matthew_1deg.tar.gz),but it is (https://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/TUTORIAL_DATA/matthew.tar.gz) now
 
You're absolutely right. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I've corrected the link. If you refresh the page, it should be correct now.
