[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #80657] History for problems compiling MET-V5.2 using grib2

Thu Jun 1 09:35:30 MDT 2017

----------------------------------------------------------------
  Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

I'm trying to compile METv5.2 with GRIB2 file support enabled, but I have
received a lot of errors. Please find attached the config.log and
make_install.log to see the error messages that I got during the
compilation.

I must mention that I followed step by step the indications given in the
user guide regarding the compilation of the external libraries used for
MET. Therefore, I installed the BUFRLIB_v10-2-3, netcdf-3.6.3, gsl-1.14,
freetype-2.6 and g2clib-1.6.0-patch (prior the jasper-1.900.1,
libpng-1.2.56 and zlib-1.2.8 were also installed) libraries using
gfortran-V4.5.1 compiler. All the libraries were successfully installed and
the environmental for MET was set using these libraries.

Even though the libjasper.a is created and exported in the .bashrc as it
follows

“export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH: $HOME/TOOLS/jasper-1.900.1/lib”,

the error that occurs when the binaries should be created looks like this:

/opt/metapps/x86_64/compiler/gcc-4.5.1/bin/ld: cannot find -ljasper

Could be this error related to the errors seen in the config.log files that
looks like

compiler/gcc-4.5.1/bin/ld: cannot find –lfl

compiler/gcc-4.5.1/bin/ld: cannot find -ll ???

If so, could you suggest me how to get rid of these errors?

Since I am a newbie using MET, your help will be highly appreciated.

Best regards.
Mirela

Hello Mirela,

Our apologies for not responding in our usual timely manner.  Many of
the
MET staff have been out on vacation and for the Memorial Day holiday.

Before we try to reproduce your issues with compiling METv5.2, could
you
please verify that you have downloaded the METv5.2 + patches tarball?
It
would be a waste of your time if we got this compilation to work only
to
have to repeat with the bugfixed version.

Regards,
Minna

Hi Mirela.

I see that you are having some difficulty installing the MET software.
As
you mentioned, the jasper library, along with zlib, libpng, and the
grib2nc
library are all required when compiling support for GRIB2.

The LD_LIBRARY_PATH is an environment variables that you set to give
the
run-time shared library loader an extra set of directories to look for
when
searching for shared libraries, but we need to tell the configure
command
where to look for the jasper library at compile time.  You can use the
LDFLAGS option to configure (./configure --help), like this:

LDFLAGS='-L$HOME/TOOLS/jasper-1.900.1/lib/'

where $HOME/TOOLS/jasper-1.900.1/lib/ contains the file "libjasper.a".
Please try running "make clean", then using that option when you run
configure, for example:

 ./configure --prefix=/home/guest/guest01/MET_V5.2
LDFLAGS='-L$HOME/TOOLS/jasper-1.900.1/lib/' --enable-grib2
--enable-mode_graphics --disable-block4

Then, try to compile MET.  Please let us know how it goes.

Thanks,
Julie

Hi Julie and Minna,

Thank you very much for your reply!
I followed your instructions (make clean and configure with LDFLAGS to
my
libjasper.a library) and it worked!! :)
All the binaries are in the right place, so everything seems to be ok!

Once again, thank you for your help!
