Fail tests with Intel compiler

[alainF]

Hello everyone,
I have installed the Intel compiler from these instructions : How to Install Intel Compilers for WRF,

I tried to pass the tests that are here : Compiling WRF

I fail at the last test, Test #2: Fortran + C + NetCDF, when mpif90 and mpicc are invoked. It is at the stage called "Library Compatibility Tests"
The result of the command :
mpif90 02_fortran+c+netcdf+mpi_f.o 02_fortran+c+netcdf+mpi_c.o -L${NETCDF}/lib -lnetcdff -lnetcdf
is below:

/usr/bin/ld: /home/wrf/Build_WRF/LIBRARIES/netcdf/lib/libnetcdf.a(libdispatch_la-file.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.4' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE
/usr/bin/ld : impossible de fixer les tailles des sections dynamiques : bad value

All the other tests have been passed.
Do you have an idea ?

Thank you

Well, well...
When I use mpif90 and mpicc from the Intel original distribution, I get the error message as mentioned above, but...
When I compile and use mpif90 and mpicc from the compilation of MPICH as said in the tutorial, then I pass the test !
In order to use the MPICH commands, I just add the path to the corresponding bin directory of MPICH at the head of my $PATH string.

I use the latest Ubuntu (22.04 LTS) and they have gcc-11 inside.
Also, the intel compiler says : icc is deprecated, use icx instead, but I didn't. I use icc.

Finally WRF and WPS have been successfully built by using the latest configuration (mpif90 and mpicc from a compilation of mpich with the intel compiler, according to the instruction of the tutorial)
