I am trying to compile WPS, but I got the error below.

@aganji2 Did you compile WRF first?

[aganji2]

Yes, I compiled for em_real (3d real case) and em_quarter_ss (3d ideal case); it was successful, and all the required exe files were generated. I copied the last part of the log file here:

@aganji2 I tried with gcc 13.2.0 on our system, and it compiles WPS just fine. So not sure yet what your problem is.

[aganji2]

The error arises when trying to call the mprintf subroutine, specifically with the string that is being split across two lines. The continuation character & is intended to indicate that the statement continues on the next line, but the compiler is not recognizing the syntax correctly. for Example for
780 | call mprintf(.true., INFORM, 'For %s, couldn''t find interpolator sequence for '// &
| 1
Error: Syntax error in argument list at (1)

Is there any flag that I have to add for compilation? I copied configure.wps here:

@aganji2 Which compile option did you choose when you typed 'configure'? Can you show me the option line?

[aganji2]

I tested both 1 and 3:

@aganji2 Did you install the grib2 library separately from compiling WPS?

[aganji2]

I installed it from

/home/m/mhatzo/ganjiarm/models/MainModel/WRFmodel/LIBRARIES/jasper-1.900.1

before WPS compiling using this command:

./configure --prefix=/gpfs/fs0/scratch/m/mhatzo/ganjiarm/Models/MainModel/WRFmodel/LIBRARIES/grib2

[weiwangncar]

@aganji2 Can you first do 'clean -a' to remove all built code, and then do 'configure --build-grib2-libs' ? This will build grib2/png/zlib libraries from the code included from the WPS tar file. I wonder if the newer grib2 code downloaded is newer than what we support in WPS.

[aganji2]

I used the command in the WPS folder, and got the same error types for mprintf subroutine (please see below). However the number of options for compile reduced:

797 | call mprintf(.true., INFORM, 'Could not find interpolator sequence for requested resolution '// &
| 1
Error: Syntax error in argument list at (1)

(py38WRF) ganjiarm@nia-login02:~/models/MainModel/WRFmodel/WPS$ ./configure --build-grib2-libs
Will use NETCDF in dir: /gpfs/fs0/scratch/m/mhatzo/ganjiarm/Models/MainModel/WRFmodel/LIBRARIES/netcdf
Found what looks like a valid WRF I/O library in ../WRF

---

The zlib, libpng, and JasPer libraries will be compiled from source and
installed in /home/m/mhatzo/ganjiarm/models/MainModel/WRFmodel/WPS/grib2 .

The environment variables JASPERLIB and JASPERINC will be ignored.
