I succesfully geogrided which has files geo_em.d01.nc, geo_em.d02.nc, then ungribbed grib2 files whihc has files File:YYYY-MM-DD_00. However, when I tried to run metgrid the following error appeared:
Processing domain 1 of 2
Error: Error while reading domain time-indepedent attribute.

The following words are in the metgrid.log
Open static input file
Reading static global attributes
Error: Error while reading domain time-independent attribute.

My WRF version is 4.5.2, and WPS version is 4.5. My namelist.wps is as following

Hi,
All fixed. Thanks again for the help. The issue might have to do with multiple libraries installed on my system. Using the correct libraries resolved the problem.
Thanks again for your time!
