[Wrf-users] compiling WPS3 with NCAR graphics

[Eric Altshuler]

Hello Götz,

I have had the same problem in the past. On a linux machine, the solution is to add library specification flags to the NCARG_LIBS2 variable in your configure.wps file. The library name depends on what version of gcc you have on your machine. You can find out the version of gcc with gcc -v. You also need to have the correct version of precompiled NCAR Graphics binaries built for gcc 3.x or 4.x (both versions are available from the NCL site). If you have gcc 3.x, add the following flags to NCARG_LIBS2:

-L/usr/lib64 -lg2c

If you have gcc 4.x, add these flags instead:

-L/usr/lib64 -lgfortran

If you have a 32-bit machine, use /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64.

Subject: [Wrf-users] compiling WPS3 with NCAR graphics

Hi,

when compiling WPS (V3) with NCAR, the /util/plotgrids- and -plotfmt.exe 
are not made. I am using precompiled NCAR binaries -- do I need to 
compile NCAR myself, and do I have to use the same compiler I used for 
compiling  WRF, netCDF and then WPS?

Best regards

Götz
