Re: ng4ex gsun01n fails with segmentation fault on gentoo x86

Mary, thank you very much for your prompt reply. I tried and compiled both 5.1.0 and 5.2.0 but the graphic tests on gsunxxn files always fail with the same error message. Versions 5.1.0 and 5.2.0 from binaries work well (so you might be righteous asking why I am bothering the mailing list with the compiling from source not working matter... fact is that I started from the source code and I am a bit disappointed about this hitch) with a difference though, version 5.2.0 from binaries complains with warning messages: ncl: /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8: no version information available (required by ncl) ncl: /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8: no version information available (required by ncl) (I realized that when asking the script from a tcl-tk script which prevented its normal running on account of the above warnings. In order to get the ncl script to do its job I had to redirect the error output to /dev/null, so that this is not much of a hassle) The output of ldd returns: ldd $(which ncl) /home/pier/Programmi/WRF/bin/ncl: /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8: no version information available (required by /home/pier/Programmi/WRF/bin/ncl) /home/pier/Programmi/WRF/bin/ncl: /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8: no version information available (required by /home/pier/Programmi/WRF/bin/ncl) linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 (0xb7e76000) libssl.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 (0xb7e2d000) librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0xb7e24000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb7d0d000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXext.so.6 (0xb7cfd000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb7cd6000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7cd2000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.4/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb7be6000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.4/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7bd8000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7a94000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7a7a000) libz.so.1 => /home/pier/Programmi/WRF/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7a65000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7fd9000) libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib/libxcb.so.1 (0xb7a4a000) libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 (0xb7a46000) libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6 (0xb7a40000) I put make-output and LINUX files here: http://pier.unirc.eu/cestino/LINUX http://pier.unirc.eu/cestino/make-output.gz Regards, Pier ----------------------------------------------------------------- .../\ /\ ....0 0 ....=O= < Pierp > ----------------------------------------------------------------- Linux Gentoo Ker. 2.6.22/Ker. 2.6.19.2 RTAI Vulcano Web: http://pier.unirc.eu msn: pier_port at hotmail dot com irc: irc.unirc.eu #linux icq: 325474062 ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Absolutely nothing should be concluded from these figures except that no conclusion can be drawn from them." ----------------------------------------------------------------- --- Lun 19/4/10, Mary Haley <haley_at_ucar.edu> ha scritto: > Da: Mary Haley <haley_at_ucar.edu> > Oggetto: Re: [ncl-install] ng4ex gsun01n fails with segmentation fault on gentoo x86 > A: "Pierpaolo Garofalo" <pier_carla_at_yahoo.it> > Cc: ncl-install_at_ucar.edu > Data: Lunedì 19 Aprile 2010, 16:13 > Pier, > > You are running a rather old version of NCL.  You > might want to consider upgrading. > > Did you install NCL from source code or from a precompiled > binary? > > If you installed from source code, then there might be a > problem with the configuration setup. > > If you installed from a binary, then I suggest upgrading to > NCL 5.2.0: > > http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/ > > If you installed from source code, I still recommend > upgrading, but we'll need to figure > out if your configuration is correct.  Can you send me > the $NCARG/config/LINUX file > you used, and your "make-output" file? > > --Mary > > On Apr 17, 2010, at 2:07 AM, Pierpaolo Garofalo wrote: > > > Hi all, > > I have managed to successfully compile and install ncl > on a couple of quad core x86_64 gentoo machines. > Nevertheless there must be something wrong when I do the > same on a Macbook Santarosa with x86 gentoo when preparing > for wrf-3.2. > > > > I realize that ncl is not properly working on this > latter machine . > > > > I have just been using it with a very simple script > aimed to extract de-staggered data from wrf-3.2 wrfout > files.
