Hi and thank you for your help.
I am trying to run WRF for the first time on UBUNTU 18.04 currently I am using the domain wizard.
I think I successfully installed both WRF and WPS.

Now I am facing a new problem wile ungribing which I cant seem to crack (I paste the log file at the bottom and attach the namelist.input I use).
One more lead is that when I tried to look at GRIBFILE.AAA uzing zygrib I could not open the file.

Some more hints that may be relevant
I successfully ran geogrid.exe (had to replace the Vtable.GFS with one that reads GRIB2 files)
When trying to run ungrib.exe I first had to soft link libpng libs to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu



Thanks again!
Yair

Hi,
Unfortunately Domain Wizard is not supported by our group. It's an older utility that was managed by a different group (I believe at NCEP?). So if the errors are specific to the Domain Wizard, I won't be able to help.

It sounds like you're using a very old version of WPS if the default Vtable.GFS did not include grib2 format information. Do you know which version you're using? The error you're getting looks like there may be some sort of problem with the GFS Vtable you are using. I'll attach the one that is default for the latest version of WPS in case it helps.

Thanks for your help, it was very usefull!
if someone runs into that problem, what I did is:
1. used the attached Vtable.GFS
2. for now (begining to play with GFS and not really doing operational forecasting) I am using the GFS data from here https://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/OnLineTutorial/CASES/JAN00/ungrib.php


Thanks again
Yair
