Hello, every one. I am new to use SMOKE 4.7. I think I have finished compiling the source code as followed: User Guide.
I using this script ‘smk\_area\_nctox.csh’ as example, I found an error message in SMKMERGE and SMKREPORT as following figure:
[smkreport.area.temporal.nctox.2005191.log.txt](https://forum.cmascenter.org/uploads/short-url/xif1opwX2TYNAb7s0Nz7CWarHmQ.txt) (21.7 KB) [smkmerge.area.nctox.20050710.us12-nc.log.txt](https://forum.cmascenter.org/uploads/short-url/zjW82ISCVdbSqeo2JhptLvLyf2C.txt) (12.2 KB)
It also same error in the the point and nonroad script…
I recompiled the smoke4.7, but It still error.
How can I fix it ?
I’m use Inter compiler x86\_64 (version 19.0.5) for SMOKE4.7
IO/API 3.2
Netcdf 4.7.3
Thank you very much

Hi. Sorry for the late response. Can you tell me whether you got a successful run of Spcmat program or not. The error message from Smkmerge said that there is a problem with the output file from Spcmat.

Hi, I face the same error as the poster. Here are my Spcmat logs. Seems like there is something wrong with Spcmat. Plz help me to check the problem, thx very much.
compiler: intel compiler x86\_64 (version 19.0.0)
IOAPI 3.2
Netcdf 4.1.3

Thank you for your reply.,
I got a successful successful run of Spcmat program, which’s found “Normal Completion” in the LOG file as followed : [spcmat.area.nctox.cmaq\_cb05\_soa.log.txt](https://forum.cmascenter.org/uploads/short-url/9uW5311sMj02IQkNkVdInAdAoaP.txt) (21.5 KB)
I think that something wrong on the “ASMAT\_S” output about speciation descriptions as followed: [asmat\_s\_output.txt](https://forum.cmascenter.org/uploads/short-url/wv1CNYiCScArG6RRqPJRFOmy0qp.txt) (2.0 MB)
I don’t change anything in the smk\_area\_nctox.csh script (original file). However, when I change the “MRG\_SPCMAT\_YN” to N, I got a successful run of SMKMERGE program.
Also, I re-compile with 3 compiler (pgi , gcc , intel), but found the same error.
Thank you very much.

Thanks for sending me your Spcmat log file as well as the headers of Spcmat output file. The issue you are having is related to IOAPI/NetCDF compilation. Based on your ASMAT header, there are no units and var\_desc filled. They should hold the information like below:
```
float SVAR001(TSTEP, LAY, ROW, COL) ;
SVAR001:long_name = "SVAR001 " ;
SVAR001:units = "g/ton " ;
SVAR001:var_desc = "NONHAPTOG ~ALD2 " ;
```
I will ask @cjcoats to provide you an assistance for this. Dr. Coats (@cjcoats) is the developer of IOAPI over last three decades.

If my problem about compilation process, I shared my compile log file as follwed: [compile.log.txt](https://forum.cmascenter.org/uploads/short-url/xQzTTVwmDRo0pjH5LYoAhyWpsUv.txt) (308.9 KB)
There are many warning in my log file,but I’m not sure that It’s correct or not. Maybe, the warning messages are related to IOAPI/NetCDF compilation.
However, Can you shared your correct output file each SMOKE process?, I will compare it with my output file for check.
Thank you for your help

The precompiled executables with ifort is available from CMAS website. Once you download the package, it contains the precompiled executables. Make sure you have ifort available.

@cjcoats. Hi Carlie. Any thoughts on this issue?

My ifort compile with SMOKE is the same as the precompiled executables from CMAS website. I saw the same error in the other topic, (such as link below), but the issue have not yet clearly solved. However, I will try to fix it by myself first. Thank you very much for your time

If you can execute the recompiled executables from CMAS on your server, try to start fresh by deleting any previous output files with your compiled executables. Sometimes it doesn’t overwrite the description.

@qinch18. Looks like the precompiled executable with intel fortran compiler does not work well in your system. I would suggest you two approaches:
1. Use the older version of SMOKE like v4.6 or older to see whether this issue goes away
2. Compile your own executables with your fortran compiler (check out the chapter 12 for compilation).

Thank you for your reply.I have use the older version of SMOKE like v4.6 and v4.5。But, the problem is not solved. There is a warning when I compile ioapi./usr/local/wrf\_tools/ku\_bash/ioapi\_32/ioapi/modncfio.F90(19699): warning #6843: A dummy argument with an explicit INTENT(OUT) declaration is not given an explicit value.

Here is the response from @cjcoats.
Is this warning the only problem? If so, it can be disregarded:
this is a “dummy” implementation of a routine not available for that
particular version of netCDF, and that will never be called by SMOKE;
the code in question writes a warning message that this routine is not
available and then exits.

Thank you for your reply.I recompiled my library files.The error is obviously much less, only the following error, this is normal?

Looks like you were able to run all scripts successfully. No errors were found in your log files. Congrats!! You should expect very minor differences between the outputs from CMAS precompiled executables and your executables due to a different CPU and compilers. The difference shouldn’t be great than 1%.
