WRFPLUSV3 Compilation Issue

[bbleckly]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to compile WRFDA and WRFPLUS for 4D-var cases but am having issues with WRFPLUS not building the executable. I am following the user guide.

I have attached the compile.log for ease of reference and my bash settings are below. I have successfully compiled V3 of WRF but wish to include PREPBUFR data and believe this may be one way to do that. However, the 3D case compiles successfully whereas the 4D case does not and I am interested in how weather patterns change over time.

Thank you for your help

As the log says: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lhdf5_fortran
That indicates that libhdf5_fortran.a does not exist in your /home/bbleckly/Build_WRF/LIBRARIES/hdf5-1.8.21/lib

Since HDF5 is not needed to build WRFPLUSV3, please try first
unset HDF5
then
./configure wrfplus
then
compile wrf
