Problem with moving nests for WRF 4.6.1

[dnolan]

Hello,

After configuring with WRF 4.6.1, for moving nests, I see this message:

************************** W A R N I N G ************************************
The moving nest option is not available due to missing rpc/types.h file.

Copy landread.c.dist to landread.c in share directory to bypass compile error.

*****************************************************************************

I don't understand the suggestion. If I copy landread.c.dist to landread.c, then will moving nests work? Or will it just "bypass the compile error"?

Compiling with option 78/ifx.

Thanks!

Dave Nolan

And I forgot to ask, can I just find that missing roc/types/h file somewhere?

If you plan to use updating USGS terrain/landuse data in a moving nest run (option input_from_hires = T), then you must have landread.c. Otherwise, moving nest would still work without it (i.e. using landread.c.dist). If you must use the hires option, see if you can find rpc/types.h on your system. The default seems to search only for places like /usr/include/rpc/types.h or /usr/include/tirpc/types.h on a typical system.
