Hi All,

I've compiled WRF using netcdf that I built without HDF5 and netcdf-4, but when I run real.exe I get this error:

real.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libhdf5_hl.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I checked the compile log file and the HDF5 env. variable wasn't set at compile time, so I don't understand this error...

Any clues?

Andrew
 
Andrew,
Please look at your netCDF lib and see what files you have there. Just an example, in my computer, I have the following files in my netCDF lib:
libhdf5_hl.so
Can you find similar files?
 
Thanks for your reply,

I don't have that file because I am using netcdf libraries compiled without HDF5 support.

I also compiled WRF without HDF5 support so was not expecting it to need this file - maybe I will have to try recompiling...
