Error while generating VR topography: "libnetcdff.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

[James King]

Hi all,

I'm working with MUSICA and need to generate a topography file for my variable-resolution grid. I am following the instructions for the 'Topo' tool. When I run ./cube_to_target, the script fails with:

error while loading shared libraries: libnetcdff.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have the NetCDF module loaded but I am not sure what's causing this problem. Any tips would be most welcome. I'm running CESM2.2.0 on Cheyenne.

Thanks,

James

This error is likely because the version of cube_to_target being invoked was not compiled against the loaded netcdf libraries (i.e., what you see with module show). If you look at the topo tool source, you'll see that the make system is querying the current environment for linking...

FC = $(shell nc-config --fc)
LDFLAGS = $(shell nc-config --flibs)
FFLAGS = -c $(shell nc-config --fflags)

(if you run

nc-config --flibs

, you'll see what I mean)

I would suggest doing a git pull, make clean, then rebuilding the topo tool, then invoking the binaries.

Hope that helps!
