Building PNetCDF for WRF on ANL LCRC

[Wei-Keng Liao]

Hi, Robert

Please send me the following 2 files
config.log and
test/largefile/large_coalesce.log

They may contain information about the errors.

FYI. When building PnetCDF 1.12.1, you need not set those
environment variables. Your configure command can simply
be the following.
./configure --prefix=$WRF_LIBRARIES --enable-large-file-test

(The loaded modules on bebop are: gcc/7.3.0-xyzezhj and openmpi/3.1.3-obi56bx)
