David,

You can do:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/libnetcdff.so.5 file if in ksh
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /path/to/libnetcdff.s0.5 file if in csh

This should solve your current error by allowing for a dynamic link of this
lib.

Regards,
Steve

Subject: [Wrf-users] metgrid libnetcdff.so.5 can't find file

Hi,

   I successfully ran ungrib for a recent 3-day forecast, but when I tried
to run metgrid, I got the following error.

./metgrid.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libnetcdff.so.5: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

     Does this mean metgrid can't find  libnetcdff.so.5 , or that
libnetcdff.so.5 can't find a file or directory?  One suggestion I found on
wrfforum for a similar error suggested that the NETCDF environment was not
properly set.  But it was during the original compilation and metgrid has
run without any errors for all previous runs.  Does anyone have an idea of
what might have happened to cause this error?  (There was no other major
installation/compilation that I know of that might have clobbered some
links.  I did try doing soft links to all the relevant libnetcdff.so.5 files
below, but that didn't help.  

Thanks for any ideas.
