Run WRF error exit code: 5

[jef737]

Describe the bug Hello I'm testing GIS4WRF on Linux Unbutu 18.04. I try to reproduce the tutorial with my own domain definition but with the same dimension center point long: 6.7 lat: 45.6. Met dataset: ds083.3 product: analysis start date: 06/02/2019 00:00 end date: 06/02/2019 06:00 Every things work fine up to the step Run WRF After about 10mn i got an error with exit code: 5 below extract of the prgram output Command: /home/meteo/gis4wrf/dist/WRF-4.0-nompi/main/wrf.exe Working directory: /home/meteo/gis4wrf/projects/BSM/run_wrf Ntasks in X 1 , ntasks in Y 1

I have seen somewhere a segmentation fault message, but i'm not able to found it among the too lot of messages. May be there is a log file where is easier to check that. Let me know where are the logs file

Hi @jef737, thanks for the comprehensive report. I had a quick look at your configuration but it looks different than what at https://gis4wrf.github.io/tutorials/index.html#wrf. For example:

&physics
    physics_suite = 'CONUS'
    mp_physics = 0, 0
    cu_physics = 0, 0
    radt = 9, 3
    bldt = 0, 0
    cudt = 0, 0
    icloud = 0
    num_land_cat = 21
    sf_urban_physics = 1, 1
/

I would suggest, running the tutorial first exactly as it is on the website if you are not familiar with running WRF. Unfortunately segfaults can happen quite often in WRF due to several different reasons like choice of scheme, time step, etc... If you encounter problems in the future, when you set-up your own case study and you think that namelist has been configured correctly, it may be worth opening an issue on the wrfforum or at https://github.com/wrf-model depending on the type of problem. I will close this issue but feel free to open another issue in this repo if you find a bug with GIS4WRF or want to suggest a feature.
