WPS not making geogrid & metgrid for Hurricane-WRF (HWRF)

[Deleted member 3607]

Good morning everyone,

My friend and I are trying to create a bash script that automates the installation of HWRF with very little user input.

The script so far can install WRF-NMM and only the ungrib.exe in WPS.

The script utilizes the following libraries:

sudo apt -y install gcc gfortran g++ libtool automake autoconf make m4 default-jre default-jdk csh ksh git python3 python3-dev python2 python2-dev mlocate curl cmake perl pgpgpg doxygen curl

zlib 1.2.12
libpng 1.6.37
jasper 1.900.1
szip-2.1.1
hdf5 1.12.2
lapack 3.10.1
pnetcdf 1.12.3
netcdf-c 4.8.1
netcdf-fortran 4.5.4
WRF 4.3.3
WPS 4.3.1

Note there is some uncertainly about the compatibility with these versions of the libraries.

I am not certain if the dependent libraries are the issue or if it is something to do with WPS.

Attached are the wps.configure & compile log output with the errors we are getting.

If anyone has any recommendations please let me know.

The environment variables are set with:

export HOME=`cd;pwd`
export DIR=$HOME/HWRF/Libs
export HWRF=$HOME/HWRF


export CC=icc
export CXX=icpc
export FC=ifort
export F77=ifort

So there appears to be some library and compiler issues that I was able to resolve.

First the Intel HPC compilers have a prerequisite of installing the Intel Base Kit before the HPC Intel Compilers can be installed.

This can be done via the linux terminal using the command:

sudo apt -y install gcc gfortran g++ libtool automake autoconf make m4 default-jre default-jdk csh ksh git python3 python3-dev python2 python2-dev mlocate curl cmake perl pgpgpg doxygen curl intel-basekit intel-hpckit

It is important to note that all the other apt commands listed are required for intel-basekit to be installed. Then intel-hpckit can be installed after basekit.

For WPS, certain legacy libraries are needed for WRF 4.3.3 and WPS 4.3.1 to install WRF-NMM.

These libraries are:

Zlib 1.2.7
NETCDF 4.1.3
libpng 1.2.50
jasper 1.900.1
pnetcdf 1.12.3

However, newer libraries may exist that will allow additional functioning. I will update if I figure which one those are.
