ERROR: No valid value for io_form_geogrid was specified in the namelist

Hi,
I'm trying to run the geogrid.exe for I/O API binary or grid but I get the fallowing error message:

2025-02-13 13:25:54.345 --- WARNING: Valid io_form_geogrid values are:
2025-02-13 13:25:54.345 --- WARNING: 2 (=NETCDF)
2025-02-13 13:25:54.345 --- ERROR: No valid value for io_form_geogrid was specified in the namelist.

Please, can you help me with this issue?

I attach the files

Hi,
Can you check in your configure.wps file to see whether the CPPFLAGS variable contains -DIO_BINARY and -DIO_GRIB1? Can you also let me know which version of WPS you're using? Thanks!

Hi,
Thank for the answer. No, the CPPFLAGS variable in configure.wps does not contain -DIO_BINARY and -DIO_GRIB1. I'm using the 4.4 version

Okay, then that must be the issue. Can you try to recompile WPS and add those two flags in the configure.wps file? First, issue a ./clean -a, then reconfigure. After that, open configure.wps and add those flags (make sure they aren't commented out). Save the file, then recompile. After that, try running geogrid again, with io_form_geogrid =3, and let me know if that makes a difference. Thanks!

Hi, Thank for the answer.
I have compiled again following the steps you indicated me and now the geogrid runs fine but in the geogrid.log it writes the following message for each of the domains:

Skipping XLAT_C, Could not find parameter for XLAT_C in gribmap.txt
Skipping XLONG_C, Could not find parameter for XLONG_C in gribmap.txt

Skipping SINALPHA_U, Could not find parameter for SINALPHA_U in gribmap.txt
Skipping COSALPHA_U, Could not find parameter for COSALPHA_U in gribmap.txt
Skipping SINALPHA_V, Could not find parameter for SINALPHA_V in gribmap.txt
Skipping COSALPHA_V, Could not find parameter for COSALPHA_V in gribmap.txt
.
.
.

What does that mean, is that a problem?
You will find attached the log

Apologies for the delay. Those messages should not be an issue if your geogrid output looks okay. They are prints related to certain "if" tests in the code.

Hi,
Now I have an error message in Metgrid when I use io_form_geogrid = 1, regardless of the number I use in io_form_metgrid . Can you help me with this part, please?
