Error while generating BUMP localization files

Hello!

I’ve successfully built mpas-bundle and am attempting to go through this UCAR tutorial.

I’ve gotten to part 3.1 Generating BUMP localization files and I’m getting this error when running mpasjedi_error_covariance_toolbox.x:

Info     : -------------------------------------------------------------------
Info     : --- Write NICAS parameters
Info     :        Write NICAS local data
Info     :           Write NICAS data of task      1 from task      1
Info     :              Block: common

!!! NetCDF error in netcdf_create_file on task #000002: NetCDF: Parallel operation on file opened for non-parallel access
!!! Hint: file ./bumploc_1200km6km_nicas.nc

I’m using the precompiled binaries available in Ubuntu 22.04 for all the NetCDF related libraries (NetCDF-C, NetCDF-Fortran, etc…).

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks!

I ended up figuring this out, I needed to compile NetCDF with parallel support. I was using the default one provided by the distro and it looks like that one was not compiled with parallel support.
