NETCDF issue when porting to a new machine.

[xlong@ncsu_edu]

Hi,I have some NETCDF issue when porting CESM1_2_2_1 to new machine.The new machine use module to manage the software.The NETCDF-C and NETCDF-FORTRAN are installed on different locations.The admin told me I only need to load the fortran module because  the fortran one depends on the C one.This is netcdf-fortran module:

I built the model after loading the modules,I got error when compiling pio,WARNING: did not find netcdf fortran library

So I add one line in the env_mach_specific:setenv NETCDF /opt/apps/software/data/netCDF-Fortran/4.4.5-intel-2018.5.274 but it still has another error:-- Could NOT find NETCDF (missing: NETCDF_INCLUDE_DIR) Even with this warning, the pio build is completed, but it is stuck at building the csm_share. home/xlong/cesm1_2_2_1/models/drv/shr/seq_io_mod.F90(1170): error #6404: This name does not have a type, and must have an explicit type.   [PIO_UNLIMITED]       rcode = pio_def_dim(cpl_io_file,'time',PIO_UNLIMITED,dimid(1))  I guess all the errors are due to that the netcdf lib is not set correctly? Could anyone give some suggestion how to link the netcdf C and fortran library, and also let the model know the location of include files?

Based on the error, even though the pio bld completed I don't think that it worked.  Try setting in env_mach_specificNETCDF=/opt/apps/software/data/netCDF-Fortran/4.4.5-intel-2018.5.274the remove the bld directory and try again.   1.2.2.1 is not set up to handle seperate netcdf c and fortran directories so you may need to create a directory tree that links the installed libs into something that will make sence to the build,  that is create netcdf/lib and netcdf/include directories, from these lnk the files from the netcdf-c and netcdf-fortran directories and set netcdf to that newly created directory.

Thanks.I did explicitly set the env varibale :setenv NETCDF /opt/apps/software/data/netCDF-Fortran/4.4.5-intel-2018.5.274, in the env_mach_specific fileBut after doing this, the pio build still say "Could NOT find NETCDF (missing: NETCDF_INCLUDE_DIR)"As you suggeted,I should make a local directory like netcdf, the link the files in the netcdf-c/lib, netcdf-c/include, netcdf-fortran/lib, netcdf-fortran/includeI think I also need to link the bin directory ?
So that the model only access netcdf through my local directory?
