[Wrf-users] ask for help on installing and compiling WRF 3.5.1

Tue Oct 15 01:52:42 MDT 2013

Hi Wei,

I had to do little effort to get 3.5.1 working, using EasyBuild/1.7.0 and
the following configuration
(ie. skipping the WRF*known_problems.patch file and,
simply reusing WRF-%(version)s_netCDF-Fortran_separate_path.patch from
version 3.5)

I make no claims about the validity of the build, other than that there is
one now ;-)
You should be able to change the buildtype relatively easily!

```

This is EasyBuild 1.7.0 (framework: 1.7.0, easyblocks: 1.7.0) on host
gaia-10.
