Problems in compiling the Plotting Package:"_nf_close_"...

[LeaF_7]

Hello,

After I luckily build the ROMS build.bash, I tried to plot the output with the plotting package, this time I also encounter a problem.

Still my machine is a mac mini with Mavericks 10.9.4, with gcc 4.8.2 obtained from the macports, and I installed the NCL 6.2.0. After I run the makefile, the output end with this:

I looked into the forum and find something similar here:viewtopic.php?f=31&t=2769&hilit=plotting+package

But this did not solve my problem...it seemed like a linking issue again.

I would be appreciate if anyone could help.

Thanks!

You show us the error but not the link command. Perhaps there's something useful on the wiki?

Hi kate,

I followed the instruction from the url and modified the link lib thing in the /Compilers/Darwin-gfortran.mk and the script is down here.

Code: Select all

 libncar = -lncarg -lncarg_gks -lncarg_c -lXpm -lX11 -lXext \
                        -lcairo -lfontconfig -lpixman-1 -lfreetype -lexpat \
                        -lpng -lz -lpthread -lbz2 -lXrender -lnetcdf -lhdf5_hl\
                        -lhdf5
  
                 LIBNCAR := -L$(NCARG_ROOT)/lib -L/opt/local/lib $(libncar)
                 LIBS  := ${LIBNCAR} ${LCDF}
                 #LIBS  = -L$(NCARG_ROOT)/lib -lncarg -lncarg_gks -lncarg_c
                 LIBS  += -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11

After I add -lnetcdff, the output become more friendly with:

Code: Select all

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_mapchi_", referenced from:
      _mapgrd_ in libUTIL.a(hbackground.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [/Users/linfan/src/plot/executables/cnt] Error 1

I will keep looking into wiki to see anything else I can do, it seemed like the link command is the main issue for starters like me. Usually I don't know what happened when an error message came out...

Thanks!

Hmm, I went to the ncl library directory and typed:

Code: Select all

pacman6 195% foreach foo ( lib* )
foreach? echo $foo
foreach? nm $foo | grep -i mapchi
foreach? end
libblas_ncl.a
libcgm.a
libfftpack5_dp.a
libhlu.a
liblapack_ncl.a
libncarg.a
libncarg_c.a
libncarg_gks.a
libncarg_ras.a
libncl.a
libnclapi.a
libnfp.a
libnfpfort.a
libngmath.a
libnio.a
libsphere3.1_dp.a

So I don't have them either. A web search brings up:

The names of the routines MAPTRP and MAPCHI were changed to MDPTRP and
MDPCHI. I don't remember if their arguments were changed, but I suspect
not. However, these routines are purely internal routines of EZMAP and
not part of the user interface, so you call them at your own risk.

The problem is here in the makefile due to some inappropriate modification. Here is part of the makefile,

Code: Select all

#NCAR_VERSION ?= NCARG410
119 #NCAR_VERSION ?= NCARG422
120 #NCAR_VERSION ?= NCARG430
121 #NCAR_VERSION ?= NCARG431
122 #NCAR_VERSION ?= NCARG441
123 NCAR_VERSION ?= NCARG520
124 #NCAR_VERSION ?= NCARG620

I add something (the last line) that cause the error, although I don't know why, but keep it as above the compiling succeeded, I get the cntG kind of things

I think I should record how I installed ROMS and the plotting packages on a mac with current version(2014) requirements....

Thanks a lot for your help, kate
