I'm following these steps, so I'm wondering what went wrongIt looks like you compiled WRF-CHEM? Please let me know if I am wrong.
The ideal case should run for WRF-ARW. Please follow the steps below:
(1) in Top WRF directory, type ./lclean -a
(2) ./configure ( and select the appropriate option based on your compiler, etc.)
(3) ./compile em_fire
Then run the ideal case following the REDAME file in em_fire.
