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

[Dominikus Heinzeller]

Hi David,

This means that metgrid can’t find libnetcdff.so.5. On linux you can also run “ldd metgrid.exe” to check this. Maybe the location of your libnetcdff.so.5 library is no longer in the system search path (environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH  - should contain /usr/local/netcdf/lib in your case)?

Cheers

Dom

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.
