[Wrf-users] problem with geogrid

hi,
we are trying to use WRF-ARW at an intel based multi-processor (x86-x64)
machine, using linux, PGI compiler (pgf90, pgcc). during the run of
geogrid.exe, the process stopped itself after about an hour (killed). when
we had a look at the geogrid.log to see what the error was, we saw that
interpolation of ALBEDO12M didnt end, and there was some "inform" at some
fields (including albedo). we think that there is a problem with the
interpolation of these fields. this can be because of the data to be wrong,
or something because of seeing or calculating the data. the log we have is
at the end of the message. we tried this with lots of different domains with
different sizes, scales, grid lengths in domain-wizard and ssh. we had taken
the geog data from wrf-users-download page, and also we downloaded second
time for making sure we had the true data. so we think there is not a
problem with it. at last, after trying many things, we tried deleting
ALBEDO12M, GREENFRAC, SNOALB, SLOPECAT from the geogrid.TBL file.
geogrid.exe was succesful. after that, ungrib.exe, metgrid.exe, real.exe and
wrf.exe were succesful. now, we want to run the model with all fields, (with
those we have deleted, too) why do you think this happened? did anyone faced
such a problem with geogrid.exe? we have a smaller different problem: we
didnt have plotfmt.exe and plotgrids.exe after compiling WPs. the other
utilities exist in our util directory. we thought that this problem is
related with NCL, according to the users guide etc. we have NCAR Graphics
and its library installed in our computer. what can be the problem?

one more question: how can NETCDF be compiled with PGI-compiler (we used a
pre-compiled one, which we dont know with which compiler it is compiled).

thanks for any advices or suggestions.


here's the geogrid.log:
