Buffer Overflow if Compiling KPP

[wintermute]

Hi all,

I've been recently trying to compile WRF Chem on Ubuntu 13.10 x64. If I set the compiler to compile also KPP I receive a buffer overflow error that completely disappears if I choose not to compile KPP...has anyone experienced the same problem?

Are there are any known workaround to this solution?

Hello,
I am a new user to WRF-CHEM.When I tried to compile it ,I met the same problem as you.Have you known how to solve it yet?
my compiler is gcc 4.4 and the OS is Ubuntu 10.10. By the way, I chose the serial mode.

Sorry, no. I do not have a clue to what is causing that buffer overflow: probably something related to YACC and FLEX, but I'm not expert enough with these packages to know what changes I could make to solve the issue.

I faced this problem too
I don't know exactly what cause it, but it disappeared when I compiled with FLEX 2.5.3
The compiler used was Gnu 4.6.4
If you want to keep higher version of FLEX try to fix it with this solution

Sorry for necroposting, just a more detailed instruction here. Most likely, this error occurs due to the wrong version of FLEX library. EXPORT FLEX='path_to_flex' turned out to be not enough on my system, cause still somewhere in the code system FLEX was called, so I needed to additionally add the directory with compiled FLEX 2.5.3 executable to PATH. Hope that helps.

Hi I am installing WRF-CHEM with KPP, I am also getting the buffer overflow detected error message while compiling with KPP
export WRF_EM_CORE=1
export WRF_CHEM=1
export WRF_KPP=1
export FLEX_LIB_DIR=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
export YACC='/usr/bin/yacc -d'

I am using GNU (gfortran/gcc)

The error message is shown here for your suggestions
