WRF in UBUNTU 24

[Marcio Cataldi]

Dear all,

I'm trying to compile WRF 4.5.1 with Ubuntu 24, but the compilation goes into a kind of loop and doesn't finish. I had already compiled the same version two weeks ago on Ubuntu 22.

One of the things that caught my eye during the compilation was these messages:

make[27]: /bin/sh: Temporarily unavailable resource
/bin/sh: 1: cd: make[27]: [../configure.wrf:271: wrfio_nf] Error 127 (no effect)

make[56]: [../configure.wrf:297: wrfio_grib1] Error 2 (has no effect)

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Thanks

Hi @Marcio Cataldi,
Could you attach the full log of the build, as well as the configure.wrf file? Those would be helpful in taking a further look at this.

Thanks!

Thank you @islas,

I'm sending you the WRF compilation log and the beginning and end of the WRF-CHEM log. I couldn't compile either of them on UBUNU 24. I'm using the same configuration that worked on UBUNTU 22, I don't know if that could be it.

 

[Marcio Cataldi]

Adding the file, I believe it didn't go the first time.

The WRF-CHEM log was 16 Gb, that's why I'm only sending the beginning and the end... it didn't actually stop, it didn't even give an error, it was compiling for over 24 hours.

Many Thanks

It almost looks like it is infinitely re-entering frame and trying to compile the external directory. Is this a clean copy of v4.5.1? If one of the directories was accidentally removed I can see how that might cause an infinite loop.

Also the compile.log.WRF is quite interesting as there are no errors in the log, but the final output says otherwise. Are the executables present in that build in the main/ folder?
