[Met_help] Re: Problem with compiling METv1.0

[John Halley Gotway]

Bosko,

Thanks for sending the Makefile and logfile.  I see that you're compiling
MET with the PGI compilers.  Based on the error message, it appears that
the linker is having trouble finding things in the NetCDF library.

One possible explanation is that the NetCDF library may not have been
built using the PGI compilers.  You should build NetCDF with the same set
of compilers that you're using to build MET.

If you're not sure how the NetCDF library was build, I'd suggest
rebuilding your NetCDF library using something like (in a C type shell):

cd /home2/oper/WRF_ON/verification/netcdf-3.6.2
setenv CC /usr/pgi/linux86/7.0/bin/pgcc
setenv CXX /usr/pgi/linux86/7.0/bin/pgCC
setenv F77 /usr/pgi/linux86/7.0/bin/pgf77
./configure --prefix=/home2/oper/WRF_ON/verification/netcdf-3.6.2
make check
make install

That should tell NetCDF to build using the PGI compilers.  And it will
"install" into your netcdf-3.6.2 directory.  This is explained in the file
/home2/oper/WRF_ON/verification/netcdf-3.6.2/INSTALL.

So in your Makefile, set the NETCDF parameters as follows:
NETCDF_BASE  = /home2/oper/WRF_ON/verification/netcdf-3.6.2
NETCDF_INCS  = -I$(NETCDF_BASE)/include
NETCDF_LIBS  = -L$(NETCDF_BASE)/lib

Then try rebuilding MET by doing a "make clean" and "make install".

Hopefully that'll get you past that linker error from the PCP-Combine
tool.  Please let me know how it goes and if you run into any more
problems.

Thanks,
John Halley-Gotway
