NetCDF support not available in UM 11.5

[mtodt]

Hi

I'm running suite u-bq387, which is based on an UM 11.0 suite that I upgraded to UM 11.5 via rose app-upgrade vn11.5. However, now atmos_main fails with the following error message:

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
???!!!???!!!???!!!???!!!???!!!       ERROR        ???!!!???!!!???!!!???!!!???!!!
?  Error code: 45
?  Error from routine: um_netcdf_mod
?  Error message: Called a NetCDF function when NetCDF support is not availible. (NETCDF_AVAILABLE is not defined)
?  Error from processor: 0
?  Error number: 99
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I noticed that upgrading added netcdf=false to app/fcm_make_um/rose-app.conf, so I commented it and re-ran the suite but it still failed with the same error message. Many thanks for your help!

Cheers
Markus

Hi Markus

You need to set the netcdf variable to netcdf=true, or in the rose edit panel fcm_make_um->env->Basic compilation set netcdf to on. Then rebuild the UM.

Hi Jeff

Thanks four your help! Now that you say it, that seems like a logical thing to do. I don't know why I didn't try that earlier.
