I have a problem compiling WRFDAV4.0. I am running Ubuntu 18.10. Prevously I compiled WRFDAV3.9.1 on Ubuntu 16.10 without any problem.
From V4.0 tarball I have been able to compile WRF and WPS. I compiled rttov122 with "make ARCH=gfortran emis_atlas", and also tried "make ARCH=gfortran all".. I am getting the same error with both WRFDAV4.0 and WRFDAV3.9.1.
I paste below contents of my compile.out, .bashrc and Makefile.local (for rttov122).
I will appreciate help.
copying Registry/Registry.wrfvar to Registry/Registry

Will compile with CRTM library

Compiling with RTTOV libraries in:
/home/zmumba/rttov122

Can not find a compatible RTTOV library! Please ensure that your RTTOV build was successful,
your 'RTTOV' environment variable is set correctly, and you are using a supported version of RTTOV.
Currently supported versions are 11.1, 11.2, and 11.3

from bashrc
export WRF_EM_CORE=1
export WRFIO_NCD_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT=1
# export WRF_DIR=/home/zmumba/WRF

export BUFR=1
export CRTM=1
export RTTOV=$HOME/rttov122

From Makefile.local
Failed to paste text

hello,
Your rttov version is higher than required, using rttov 11.1-11.3 can help solve the problem.

The user guide emphasizes that "If satellite radiance data are to be used, a Radiative Transfer Model (RTM) is required. The current RTM versions that WRFDA supports are CRTM V2.2.3 and RTTOV V11.1–11.3 ".
You can find the refenrece from here http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/docs/user_guide_v4/v4.0/users_guide_chap6.html#_Installing_WRFPLUS_and_2

Cheers
 
Thanks fecite for the useful inofrmation. After installing rttov112 I was able to compile WRFDA but minus the main executable. The compile.out gives a number of "undefined reference to `__rttov_hdf_mod_MOD_is_hdf.....'.
I will see what I can do
thanks
