Segmentation fault in running wrf.exe

Hi,
I recently compiled WRFV4.6.1 on the latest Intel compilers using this script. @William.Hatheway helped me with the installation errors and other issues related to his script. Everything works fine except when running wrf when I get this error:

Code:

I tried ulimit -s unlimited and ulimit -Ss unlimited but it did not work. Any suggestions?

Many thanks.

Hi,
Apologies for the delay. It can sometimes take us a few business days to be able to respond due to other obligations, and we don't work weekends. Thanks for your patience.

I see you're only running this with two processors. Can you try to use more? Try 36 and see if that makes any difference. If it still fails, please package all the rsl* files together and attach them as a single *.tar file. Thanks!
 
I am using a low end computer to run WRF on so I can't really run WRF on that many processors. However I did runs previously one the same computer with higher resolutions and it runs fine.
 
I figured out the problem. I accidentally set the time step denominator to 0 so it returned a time step = NaN. Apologies for the trouble and thank you for your help.
