The loader requires that the four libraries built
by WRF have the ranlib function run on them to build
a table of contents in these archive of objects.
This feature is not uniformly available across all
Unix platforms, so you are required to manually modify
each of four makefiles as follows:


From the ./WRFV2 directory:


./external/esmf_time_f90/Makefile
original lines:
#RANLIB = ranlib
RANLIB  = echo

replace with:
RANLIB = ranlib


./external/io_grib1/makefile
original lines:
#RANLIB = ranlib
RANLIB  = echo

replace with:
RANLIB = ranlib


./external/io_int/makefile
original lines:
#RANLIB = ranlib
RANLIB  = echo

replace with:
RANLIB = ranlib


./external/io_netcdf/makefile
original lines:
#RANLIB = ranlib
RANLIB  = echo

replace with:
RANLIB = ranlib


After these four modifications, then the traditional
WRF build can begin (configure and compile).
