error: This option is not recognized: _real

Hello,
I'm still getting the error

This option is not recognized: _real

even after using the file at https://ruc.noaa.gov/wrf/wrf-chem/known-prob.htm. It happens for either KPP0 (single line output error) or Kpp1. The system is running CentOS 8.3 with GNU 11.1.0. Thanks.

Hi,

What command are you using to compile?

Jordan

 

[afernandezody]

The one that I use for (standard) wrf: ./compile >& log.compile

Hi,

Typically wrf.exe is compiled with: ./compile em_real

If you want to compile the convert emiss program, you need to specify that. I.e., given the compile program downloaded from the link, you would specify:

./compile emi_conv

Hi Jordan,
Sorry, I'm finally in front of the computer. You are completely right and was invoking the compilation with "./compile em_real >& ..." Said that , I am following the instructions at (https://ruc.noaa.gov/wrf/wrf-chem/wrf_tutorial_exercises_v35/compiling_code.html) that are also linked from the UCAR website; they specify to compile wrf with the appropriate flags (steps 2-5) before compiling the external emissions conversion code (step 7). However, the issue is the the wrf compilation fails with the above message. Is there anything that I should do differently?
[Note: I forgot to mention that I'm trying to compile version 4.3].
Thanks.

Hi Jordan,
I restarted the whole thing from scratch earlier and the compilations (for both KPP0 & KPP1) went through. Obviously I was doing something wrong on Wednesday, it's the problem with multitasking too many things. Thanks for the help.
