[Wrf-users] WRFV2.2 & netCDF

Fri Jan 12 16:31:11 MST 2007

Hi Craig

I've had a number of problems getting WRF to compile with G95, so much so 
that recently I gave up with G95 and reverted to Intel's ifort compiler; at 
least I can get the code to compile that way. Unfortunately therefore I'm 
not much help to your specific problem; however, it sounds like you did get 
the code to compile with G95, which is farther than I got, and I know that 
others have done so as well using G95. If you would be prepared to share 
your setup details for G95 I would like to try them out (environment 
variable settings, and configure.wrf settings)..thanks in advance..

Regards
Iain Russell, Canada
