I got a number of errors on SMOKE4.5 compilation. My compiler is intel fortran compiler(Linux2\_x86\_64ifort). FFLAGS=-fixed -132 -O3 -override-limits -fno-alis _._ NetCDF-4.3.3 and IOAPI-3.1 are well installed. But I got an error while trying to make. Error messages: ar: modar2pt.o: No such file or diretory make: \*\*\* [libemmod.a] Error 1 Here’s my Makeinclude file: AR=ar CC=icc FC=ifort #M4=m4 LINK=$(CC) OMPFLAGS=-openmp OMPLIBS=-openmp ARCHFLAGS = \ -DAUTO\_ARRAYS=1 \ -DF90=1 -DFLDMN=1 \ -DFSTR\_L=int \ -DIOAPI\_NO\_STDOUT=1 \ -DAVOID\_FLUSH=1 -DBIT32=1 Can anyone help solve the problem? ---

Based on your error message, you are missing modar2pt module file located at …/src/emmod. As long as you are running SMOKE on Linux OS, you do not need to compile SMOKE but use the precompiled executables you downloded as a package. Please go throught the SMOKE user’s guide Chapter 12: [https://www.cmascenter.org/smoke/documentation/4.6/html/ch12.html](https://www.cmascenter.org/smoke/documentation/4.6/html/ch12.html) If you can run any of program using the run scripts priveded with the package, you do not need to compile SMOKE.
