WRF compiling issue on Cheyenne

[Jade666]

I was trying to use a pre-compiled wrf (compiled in Yellowstone) in Cheyenne but got this error multiple times as below:

./wrf.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libnetcdff.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I am assuming this is because there is certain path did not set right in my wrf, so I tried to reconfigure and recompile but kept getting errors. This version of my wrf had successfully compiled and ran in Yellowstone. I am really new in the modeling world, so I am not sure how to fix it.

With this post, I have attached the compile log file. Hope someone can provide some suggestion.

Thank you so much!

Hi,

In your compile log, the first error that I see is related to cpp:

/lib/cpp -C -P -traditional -I. io_grib_share.F > io_grib_share.f90
ifort -i4 -I. -w -ftz -align all -fno-alias -fp-model precise -FR -convert big_endian -I. -c io_grib_share.f90
io_grib_share.f90(1): error #5082: Syntax error, found '/' when expecting one of: <LABEL> <END-OF-STATEMENT> ; TYPE INTEGER REAL COMPLEX BYTE CHARACTER CLASS DOUBLE ...

Try doing the following steps:

1) clean -a
2) ./configure

Then go into your configure.wrf file and find these lines:

FORMAT_FIXED = -FI
FORMAT_FREE = -FR

and add '-cpp' to the end, so that they now look like:

FORMAT_FIXED = -FI -cpp
FORMAT_FREE = -FR -cpp

Save the configure.wrf file

3) recompile

Let me know if that works for you!

This works perfectly. Thank you so much.
