User feedback - dependency build problem

[Dave Offiler]

From IEEC, wishing to use ROPP netCDF file interface:

Dave,1. I am trying to instal ROPP. Because the syste,m administrator is notavailable,I am trying to install in my laptop, where I could enter as root.2. When tried to install udunits I got the following as answer to themake command:============================================making `all' in directory /home/ropp/udunits-1.12.4/src/portmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/ropp/udunits-1.12.4/src/port'making `all' in directory /home/ropp/udunits-1.12.4/src/port/miscmake[2]: Entering directory `/home/ropp/udunits-1.12.4/src/port/misc'ar rcuv libudport.a uddummy.ocase "" in \'') ;; \*)  ar rucv libudport.a ;; \esacranlib libudport.amake[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ropp/udunits-1.12.4/src/port/misc'returning to directory /home/ropp/udunits-1.12.4/src/portmaking `all' in directory /home/ropp/udunits-1.12.4/src/port/cfortranmake[2]: Entering directory `/home/ropp/udunits-1.12.4/src/port/cfortran'make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ropp/udunits-1.12.4/src/port/cfortran'returning to directory /home/ropp/udunits-1.12.4/src/portmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ropp/udunits-1.12.4/src/port'returning to directory /home/ropp/udunits-1.12.4/srcmaking `all' in directory /home/ropp/udunits-1.12.4/src/libmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/ropp/udunits-1.12.4/src/lib'c89 -c -g -O2 -I../port/misc -I../port/cfortran-DUT_DEFAULT_PATH='"/home/ropp/udunits-1.12.4/etc/udunits.dat"'  utlib.cIn file included from utlib.c:29:../port/cfortran/cfortran.h:181:3: error: #error "cfortran.h:  Can'tfind your environment among:    - GNU gcc (g77) onLinux.                                                - MIPS cc and f772.0.

[Dave Offiler]

Problem is user not familiar with the build system used by dependency and ROPP and has not properly set the configure options for udunits. Sent sample build & configure scripts from ROPP_ROOT/archive (user has Intel v9 'ifort') Awating feedback that this resolves the user's problem.

This highlights that support should be provided to users; the User Guide assumes that users are fully capable of independently building and installing the dependency libraries. The configure scripts we use ourselves should be made available as samples (as-is and not necessarily formally supported) via the ROPP website (beta or central).

[Dave Offiler]

IEEC report that the provided support files solved the problem, and the ROPP code (and dpedency libraries) they need have been successfull built.

Hi Dave,

Toni and me have succesfully installed ROPP software using the 
instruccions and software sent in your last email.

Thanks for all,
regards,Santi, Toni
