netcdf

geogrid.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libnetcdf.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I would like to ask if the error in the title is related to netcdf, netcdf-c or netcdf-fortran library. I am trying to run the system of WPS and WRF. I work in a cluster and netcdf-c is not available for gcc/8.2.0 and openmpi/3.1.3

Solution

  • That library gets created when compiling netcdf-c.

    I'm pretty sure the CentOS/Redhat RPMs do include libnetcdf and they are compiled with gcc

    If the library is not in a standard path, your binary may not find in unless you tell it where to find it with LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/path/to/custom/netcdf/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
