[ncl-talk] Using NetCDF with WRAPIT

Fri Jul 17 16:57:38 MDT 2020

Hi Rick,

Nice suggestion, sadly no difference.

One of the reasons I went for a manual ncl install (“You have chosen Slow and Painful”) was in case I could mod WRAPIT to recognise Includes (or even just hard code NetCDF into it). I haven’t attempted that yet..

Cheers

Harry

Hi Harry,

I don't know for certain. It really looks like the compiler is not finding the netcdf header, and needs the equivalent of a -I/usr/local/include option. As you point out, WRAPIT doesn't accept that (seems like an oversight to me).

I presume you are using gfortran?  It manual states: "The gfortran compiler currently does not make use of any environment variables to control its operation above and beyond those that affect the operation of gcc"

With that, you might try setting CPATH:

export CPATH=/usr/local/include

Other than that, you might try running WRAPIT with the -d switch. This will show the build commands and not delete temporary outputs. From there you might be able to manually fix-up and run the appropriate build commands.

Wish I had a better answer...

Hi Rick,

WRAPIT Version: 120209
A syntax error occurred while parsing: include
COMPILING /Users/ianharris/Programs/Fortran/forverify3.for
/Users/ianharris/Programs/Fortran/forverify3.for:443: Error: Can't open included file 'netcdf.inc'

gcc: error: forverify3.o: No such file or directory
rm: forverify3.o: No such file or directory
END WRAPIT

This is the gfortran equivalent that works:

% gfortran -m64 -I/usr/local/include/ -L/usr/local/lib -lnetcdf /usr/local/lib/libnetcdff.a ~/Programs/Fortran/forverify3.for
also, new tree from macports:
% gfortran -m64 -I/opt/local/include/ -L/opt/local/lib -lnetcdf /opt/local/lib/libnetcdff.a ~/Programs/Fortran/forverify3.for

Now WRAPIT doesn't like Includes, and you have to put spaces after the -L and -l linkages, but:

% WRAPIT -m64 -L /opt/local/lib -l netcdf /opt/local/lib/libnetcdff.a ~/Programs/Fortran/forverify3.for

Hi,

What do you mean by "cannot get WRAPIT to recognise the "include 'netcdf.inc'""?  Are you getting a compiler error, or an error from WRAPIT itself, or?  I see you have -L directives pointing to where the netcdf library resides; do you need a similar -I directive to point to where the header is?

Hi,

I need to write NetCDF files with a Fortran subroutine, because there seems to be a memory leak in addfile(). I know that was supposed to be fixed years back, but I have memory usage graphs that indicate otherwise. And yes, I have comprehensive deletion strategies.

I've tried a lot of things, including reinstalling ncl, (oh, yes..), NetCDF, etc, etc, but I cannot get WRAPIT to recognise the "include 'netcdf.inc'" line in the subroutine. Has anyone managed this? How did you link to the libraries?

Here are a couple examples that don't work:

WRAPIT  -L/usr/local/lib -l netcdf -L /usr/local /usr/local/lib/libnetcdff.a /usr/local/lib/libnetcdf.a   ~/Programs/Fortran/forverify3.for
WRAPIT -L /opt/local/lib -l netcdf -L /opt/local -l libnetcdff.a ~/Programs/Fortran/forverify3.for

..I just chose two from dozens.

Is it actually *possible* to have a NetCDF-aware Fortran subroutine under WRAPIT?

Cheers

Harry
