WPS compilation only creates ungrib.exe executable

[FcoSalamanca]

I have compiled WRF successfully but when I try to compile the WPS only creates the ungrib.exe executable.
Attached is my configuration.wps and compile.log errors file. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance

Hi,
The error message in your compile log is:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnetcdf
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: [Makefile:13: geogrid.exe] Error 1 (ignored)

When you build WPS, the geogrid and metgrid programs rely on some of the specifics from the WRF build. You must make sure to use the same compiler (and version) as used to build WRF, along with the same version of netCDF. You may want to check that your NETCDF path is pointing to the same netCDF version you used for installing WRF.

Hi Kwerner,
Thank you for your reply.
I am building the WPS with the same netcdf version and compilers that I used for the WRF compilation. I am also attaching the configure WRF file in this email.
Best

Thanks for sharing that. Can you modify this line in the configure.wps file:

WRF_LIB         =       -L$(WRF_DIR)/external/io_grib1 -lio_grib1 \
                        -L$(WRF_DIR)/external/io_grib_share -lio_grib_share \
                        -L$(WRF_DIR)/external/io_int -lwrfio_int \
                        -L$(WRF_DIR)/external/io_netcdf -lwrfio_nf \
                        -L$(NETCDF)/lib -lnetcdff -lnetcdf

to remove the final "-lnetcdf" in that bottom line? Then save that configure.wps file and try to recompile WPS and let me know if that makes any difference?

Hi kwerner,
Thank you for your help. I removed the final "-lnetcdf" in the bottom line and the three (geogrid.exe, metgrid.exe, and ungrib.exe) executables were created !!
All the best,
Francisco
