Recently I am trying to compile WRF V3.5.1 on Cheyenne to repeat some previous results, but failed.

The issue is that after the cpp converts the codes, the gnu copyright information was added into the code, so Fortran compilers can not handle it. An example is attached by end of this email.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hi,
There was a known problem with this version of the code, related to CPP. Take a look at this page:
http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/download/get_sources_temp.html
At the top you will see modified tar files for V3.5.1. Download that file for WRF and try to compile again. You may also need to grab the WPS tar file if you plan to run real data cases.

You may want to try using either smpar or dmpar mode, instead of dm+sm. We don't do much testing with dm+sm and typically suggest not using it, as we have seen problems with it.

Let me know if you are able to build with the new version (and possibly with switching to dmpar or smpar). Thanks!
