Hi,
I manage to install WRF correctly mostly following this post

Full WRF and WPS Installation Example (GNU)

Follow the below instructions to install WRF and WPS with a GNU compiler. Alternatively, use this script for the library installations, but pay attention to the notes in the script. From a terminal window, create the following new directory: mkdir wrf_dependencies Set the following...

Although I --enable-netcdf-4 when installing NetCDF-c, i turned NetCDF_classic=1 when compiling WRF
All four executables for WRF were created.

However when I go to WPS, I get a successful configuration telling me to type ./compile. Additionally it says: "Your versions of Fortran and NETCDF are not consistent."
my versions of Frotran are gfortran 9.4.0 (GNU) and 4.7.4 of NetCDF
When compilying I only get ungrib.exe
I attach the log.compile

Thanks a lot for the help

The output "Your versions of Fortran and NETCDF are not consistent" only appears if it fails to compile the test file checking if netCDF would have worked. The message is a little misleading as it might not be the versions, it could be any other number of things.

When following the post above, do you do anything else differently? For instance, placing netCDF and netCDF fortran in different directories. The issue seems to stem from libnetcdf.so not being found, leading to lot of missing symbols.

Following the instructions verbatim (ensuring all steps are successful) does work for me, even when setting NETCDF_classic=1.
