ERROR reading namelist namelist_quilt???

[clamalo]

When I run all the WPS scripts and then ./real.exe, it prepares all the files correctly without any errors in rsl.error.0000 or rsl.out.0000. However, running ./wrf.exe gives the following error in rsl.error.0000:


taskid: 0 hostname: Clays-MacBook-Pro.local
./module_io_quilt_old.F 2931 F
-------------- FATAL CALLED ---------------

I tried rebuilding the whole thing from scratch and I'm still getting the same error. Below are the contents of my namelist.wps and namelist.input files, if that's helpful. Thank you so much!

Hi,
Apologies for the delay in response due to the holidays.
I don't actually see anything wrong with your &namelist_quilt record, so I'm not sure why you're getting that error; however, since your settings are just the default, you can try to just remove the entire &namelist_quilt section from the namelist and try again. If it still fails, please attach your namelist.input file, along with all of the rsl* files (packaged into a single *.tar file). Thanks!

I had the same issue recently which I eventually discovered was simply because of a missing newline character at the end of the namelist.input file (namelist.wps requires it too but gives a different error). Took me a long time to find the answer in this forum. Hope that helps!
