----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi there,

I'm having some trouble getting BUFRLIB compiled for a MET installation on a Linux Mint 17 box using gcc 4.8.4.

I have tried a couple of different ways, but the big problem seems to be with gfortran.

Originally,  I tried to compile it using the method outlined in their README_BUFRLIB file.  I created the global variables for FC and CC to point to the fortran and C compilers, and then am supposed to do the following:

./preproc.sh

$FC -c *.f

$CC -c *.c

However, with the above method, I don't even make it through the preproc script.  I get the following errors:

# ./preproc.sh
gcc: error: endiantest: No such file or directory
./preproc.sh: 1: ./preproc.sh: ./endiantest: not found
./preproc.sh: 54: [: =: unexpected operator

                                                      ^

I have also tried the method lined out in the Met v. 6.0 Tutorial located at the following link:

http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv6.0/tutorial.php?name=compilation&category=req_libs

Once I run the gfortran compiler, I get the following output:

 # gfortran -c -DUNDERSCORE -fno-second-underscore *.f *.F

I'm hoping you may have some insight into this problem.  I'm not sure if I'm missing a library or need a different version, or if I'm just overlooking something that should be obvious.

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

From: Julie Prestopnik

Hi Derek.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble compiling BUFRLIB.  I am
not
a BUFRLIB compilation expert, but will do my best to help.

First, what version of BURFLIB are you working with? Please be sure
you are
using version 10-2-3:
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv6.0/compilation/tar_files/BUFRLIB_v10-
2-3.tar

Could you please start with a fresh shell and follow the directions on
the
tutorial website and let me know how it goes?

http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/
METv6.0/tutorial.php?name=compilation&category=req_libs

Unpacking the BUFRLIB tarball consists of the following 3 steps:

   - Make a new directory to contain the BUFRLIB code (e.g. *mkdir
   /home/user/BUFRLIB*).
   - Move the BUFRLIB tarball to the new directory (e.g. *mv
BUFRLIB.tar
   /home/user/BUFRLIB/.*).
   - Unpack the tarball (e.g. *cd /home/user/BUFRLIB; tar -xvf
BUFRLIB.tar*
   ).

Next, compile BUFRLIB using a C and a FORTRAN compiler.
Compiling BUFRLIB using the GNU gcc and gfortran compilers consists of
the
following 3 steps:

   *gcc -c -DUNDERSCORE *.c*
   *gfortran -c -DUNDERSCORE -fno-second-underscore *.f *.F*
   *ar crv libbufr.a *.o*

Thanks!

Julie

Hi Julie,

Well, sure enough, I deleted everything, and extracted the tarball
fresh, reset the terminal, and it worked perfectly.   Not quite sure
what I did that caused the problem between logging out and logging
back in, but something changed.   I should be OK now.  I will email if
I run into any further problems.

Thanks,

Derek
