Help Needed: WPS Metgrid.exe Error (Endian Problem)

Hi everyone,
I am pretty new to WRF model's and I've been consistently getting the following error when I am trying to run ./metgrid.exe.
I was able to go through the WRF tutorial by skipping the metgrid.exe part and manually uploading met_em.nc files to properly run the WRF model.

ERROR: Didn't recognize format version of data in FILE:2016-10-06_00.\nFound version 83886080 but expected either 3, 4, or 5. This could be an endian problem.

MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 0 in communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD
with errorcode 49138976.NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes.
You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on
exactly when Open MPI kills them.

Here is my metgrid.log. Thank you in advance.
 
I tried reinstalling WRF and WPS to try to solve the issue and now I have been getting the following error when compiling WRF. I was wondering if anyone has insight towards fixing this issue as well. Thank you!

Since this is a different question the the original inquiry posted here, please open a new thread to ask this. We like to keep each thread distinct to a single topic so that it is easier to search and read the threads, when needed, later. When you do post this, please include the full compile log and configure.wrf and configure.wrf file.

Hi, I have downloaded the file from this link. Intermediate files
They are directly from one of the WRF tutorial (ARW Online Tutorial)

Regarding this issue, I'm not sure what went wrong when you ran metgrid. I was able to use the FILE* files you shared and run metgrid.exe without any issues. Perhaps recompiling will correct the issue, if you can get the code compiled correctly.
