netcdf.mod : No such file or directory

[alexbindersg]

Hello

I have got the following error message when compiling Upwelling case. I am using Ubuntu 16.04

Alex@al:~/Projects/upwelling$ ./build.bash
rm -f -r core *.ipo /home/la/Projects/upwelling/Build /home/al/make_macros.mk
makefile:239: INCLUDING FILE /home/al/make_macros.mk WHICH CONTAINS APPLICATION-DEPENDENT MAKE DEFINITIONS
cp -f /usr/local/include/netcdf.mod /home/al/Projects/upwelling/Build
cp: cannot stat '/usr/local/include/netcdf.mod': No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target '/home/al/Projects/upwelling/Build/netcdf.mod', needed by '/home/al/Projects/upwelling/Build/MakeDepend'. Stop.

I thought I installed NetCDF lib and NetCDF fortran. But I am not sure If I did it correctly. Here is what I installed them using command sudo apt-apt install <name of package> on Ubuntu:

- netcdf-bin version (1:4.4.0-2)
- libnetcdf-dev version (1:4.4.0-2).
- libhdf5-dev version (1.8.16+docs-4ubuntu1)
- gfortran version (4:5.3.1-1ubuntu1)

I also installed Perl

perl --version

This is perl 5, version 22, subversion 1 (v5.22.1) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
(with 58 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

What do I miss or did wrongly?
Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

hi
one a simple way is to install netcdf with following command in Ubuntu:
apt-get install *netcdf*
it will set netcdf.mod, netcdf.h and nc-config in you system automatically.
i hope it be useful for u.
cheers

You may have installed netcdf in a directory that ROMS is not finding.

Read in the comments in the build script ...

# If the USE_MY_LIBS is activated above, the path of the libraries
# required by ROMS can be set here using environmental variables
# which take precedence to the values specified in the make macro
# definitions file (Compilers/*.mk). For most applications, only
# the location of the NetCDF library is needed during compilation.

For your set of compiler and MPI options you need to ensure that NETCDF_INCDIR and NETCDF_LIBDIR point to the correct path.

Is anyone still using NETCDF_INCDIR and NETCDF_LIBDIR? I would instead use USE_NETCDF4 and check to see what you get from "nc-config --flibs" or "nf-config --flibs". On Ubuntu, the latter can be more useful than the former and one therefore needs to modify the Compilers file.
