NetCDF Issue when Running LIS

[mcthreems]

I have compiled the LIS executable and am attempting to run the first test case from this page (Step 2): https://nasa-lis.github.io/LISF/public_testcase_walkthrough/public_testcase_walkthrough.html

When doing so I receive this error: "netcdf: 65536 is not a valid cdfid", which appears to be due to some sort of broken link in the netcdf module used to compile it. What would be the best approach to identify what is resulting in this problem?

Hi @mcthreems

Can you please share your LISF/lis/make/configure.lis file?

Perhaps your running environment/modules are not the same as what you used to compile LIS.

We managed to find the issue, which was a conflict between the version of hdf4 and netcdf we used in the compilation. We recompiled hdf4 with a flag (-DHAVE_NETCDF) telling it there would be an external netcdf install and that then allowed the compiled model to run properly.
