Failure in Compiling plotgrids.exe, ld cannot find -lX11

[akiortagem]

Hello all,

I'm quite new on compiling WRF and WPS right from scratch (although I have experience on using both). I ahve a problem where I can't compile the utility required to preview the domains set on namelist.wps, namely the plotgrids.exe.

It seems that I'm missing something called X11 library. (CMIIW it has something to do with x windows). I am currently using CentOS 6.2 x86_64 with gfortran and gcc compiler.

Here is a part of my configure.wps (which I think has something to do with the errors)

Code: Select all

SHELL              =       /bin/sh

NCARG_LIBS      =   -L$(NCARG_ROOT)/lib -lncarg -lncarg_gks -lncarg_c \
            -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11


And here is my ./compile plotgrids logfile

Code: Select all

   if [ -e src/plotgrids.exe ] ; then \
      ln -sf src/plotgrids.exe . ; \
   fi



I beg the good people of this lovely WRF forum to help me, I have run out of ideas.

Terribly sorry, I posted the wrong compile.out

Here's the current one

I resolved the issue by completely uninstalling NCARG library and reinstalling them through EPEL repository (info http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/installing-rhel-epel-repo-on-centos-5x-or-6x) which has NCARG Library and their dependecies on list.

I hope this will help anyone who's havin the same issues
