If you run the command “<font face="Menlo" class="">grep -C3 'error' $logfile</font>” , where $logfile is your make log (“logs” if you use the file you attached to your email), you’ll see several errors related to missing libraries, for example:</div><div class=""><font face="Menlo" class="">gfortran -fPIC -fno-second-underscore -fno-range-check -fopenmp -O -o tdpackdemo TdpackDemo.o -L../../../.././ncarg2d/src/li<wbr class="">bncarg -lncarg -L../../../.././ncarg2d/src/li<wbr class="">bncarg_gks -lncarg_gks -L../../../.././common/src/lib<wbr class="">ncarg_c -lncarg_c -lcairo -lXrender -lfontconfig -lpixman-1 -lfreetype -lexpat -lpng -lz -liconv -lbz2 -lpng -lz -L/usr/local/ncarg/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -lX11 -lXext <br class="">/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -liconv<br class="">/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lbz2<br class="">collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status<br class="">Makefile:495: recipe for target 'tdpackdemo' failed<br class="">make[4]: *** [tdpackdemo] Error 1<br class="">make[4]: Leaving directory '/home/winash12/meteorology_pr<wbr class="">oject/ncl_ncarg-6.4.0/ncarg2d/<wbr class="">src/bin/tdpackdemo'</font></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">In this case, it appears as though the iconv and bzip2 libraries were not found by the compiler. You will likely need to install these (and other packages) using your system’s package manager (assuming you’re using Linux) or build them from source.
