Dear Sir or Madam,

After I successfully generated all the execution files (WPS and WRF), I received the error message "ERROR: Error in ext_pkg_write_field" after running geogrid.exe. Attach the log at the end of the article.

If you can help, thank you very much.

@jokervtv Which compiler and compiler version are you using? Which versions of the netCDF C and Fortran libraries do you have? I'll see if I can reproduce the issue locally.
 
Thank you for your reminder.

I checked the version of HDF and found that geogrid.exe links two versions of HDF. This is my question. One is compiled by myself and the other is provided by conda. Finally, I installed WRF using docker and it worked well.

Thanks again.
