Hi,
Can you attach your full compile log, as well as your configure.wrf flie? Thanks!

Hi Kwerner,
Thank you for your assistance! Please see the compile log and configure.wrf files attached!

Thanks for sending those. I notice you are using GNU V8. I know in the past we had some trouble with that version, and it's also a bit outdated. Since GNU (gcc/gfortran) is a free compiler, can you try to install a more recent version (try V13 - we've seen some issues with V14). After you get that installed, you'll need to reinstall the libraries using that new compiler - make sure to set your paths to the new compiler and new libraries. Follow the instructions in the compiling tutorial to ensure your environment is set up correctly, and that it passes all the tests. Then go to the WRF directory and issue

./clean -a
./configure
./compile em_real -j 1 >& compile.log

Then if it still fails, attach that new compile log and the new configure.wrf file. Thanks!
