timex is not found

[mahdad]

Hi,

I have been trying to recompile WRF on Cheyenne and I noticed that when I run ./configure I will get the following message:

which: no timex in (.....

However, I am able to continue compiling wrf after manual modifications to the configure.wrf file. Should I be concerned about timex?

Thanks,
Mahdad

Hi,
We often tell users when they get this error to simply comment out the following lines in the configure script:

if [ `which timex` ] ; then
  FORTRAN_COMPILER_TIMER=timex
fi

If that's essentially what you are modifying, then you should be okay to proceed. This won't make a difference to your simulation.
