After installation of NetCDF3

[justina0622]

Hi everyone,

I installed NetCDF3 finally. However, there are still may errors:

Can anyone tell me what is the problem? Is it possible because of the version of my compiler? Should I update the compiler?

Thank you very much!

The errors are in the following:

I do not know whether you just install a binary version of netcdf or not.

If this is the case, please compile netcdf from source using the same compiler.

Thanks for your reply!
I did compile netcdf from source using the same compiler. So, the problem is really weird. I use a simple model to test NetCDF. It does work.

I remember our ifort is a version of 2007. Could it be the problem?

Thank you.

Are you sure it's picking up the right netcdf.mod file? Early, early in the build phase it copies netcdf.mod from somewhere.

Sorry, I don't get your meaning by 'Early, early in the build phase it copies netcdf.mod from somewhere'. Is there problem in installing netcdf, or, you mean, in the process of running the test? Because of the problems of the cluster, I asked a professional person to install NetCDF. I think maybe it is OK.

And I changed the path in the Linux-ifort.mk in the following way. I think it is what I should change in the test running except for 'FORT ?=ifort', right?

else
NETCDF_INCDIR ?= /usr/local/include
NETCDF_LIBDIR ?= /usr/local/lib
endif

Thank you, !

It told you the problem:

fortcom: Error: mod_netcdf.f90, line 19: This module file was generated for a different platform or by an incompatible compiler or compiler release. It cannot be read. [NETCDF]
USE netcdf
----------^

You said you had compiled it yourself with the same compiler, but now you say someone else installed it into /usr/local. The compiler is telling you that the /usr/local/include/netcdf.mod that gets copied into your build directory will not work. It might even work for the regular fortran interface and only fail on the f90 interface.

If you compile it you can make sure all the tests run, including the f90 tests.

Sorry, my English is not good enough to make myself clear, I mean the netcdf has been installed(I did not mean by myself, very sorry for the misleading) and I have told him what kind of compiler I will use and he compiled it from the source. So, I can not get what the problem is.

Thank you!

I'm saying he didn't use exactly the same compiler. He might have downloaded binaries from the net. It might even be binaries for ifort, but not the same version. You asked if you need to update your ifort. That might solve the problem - or might not, I don't know.

Compiling netcdf yourself with the compiler on hand (updated or not) will solve the problem.

[linzhenhua]

I think the time you spend on compiling netcdf yourself is less than that you need to negotiate with system admin to do it for you. It's really fast and do not require system privilege.

I did have spent quite a lot of time in installing netcdf by myself. I know it should be really easy referring to the manual for NetCDF, however, it is really not in our cluster. I asked a lot of persons, even who had a lot of experience in NetCDF and asked help from unidata, still failed. Finally, I turned to professional person. I know it is ridiculous to spend so much time on this.

Thanks all the same.

I will try. Thanks a lot.

[justina0622]

Thanks for all the replies. Problem has been solved.


In the .bashrc file, /opt/intel/fc/9.1.043 should be /opt/intel/fce/9.1.043.

Sorry, it is really a very very silly mistake. Oops.

Hi justina0622,
I am now having the same problem, where is the .bashrc file, I only have a .bash file and I can not find the directory in the file.

You can open at any (sub)directory with command vi/emacs ~/.bashrc
