Issue or question about MOOSEHi, first time poster and new user to MOOSE. I am trying to install MOOSE and attempted to perform the update/rebuild of libmesh when I encountered an error finding/linking to a "z library". The error provided a suggestion of disabling two applications, but it still didn't build correctly even after trying that. Is there something missing I need to install or disable? (Optional) code in question / simulation log / errorsconfigure: error: Can't find or link to the z library. Turn off netCDF-4 and DAP clients with --disable-netcdf-4 --disable-dap, or see config.log for errors.
configure: error: ../../../../contrib/netcdf/netcdf-c-4.6.2/configure failed for contrib/netcdf/netcdf-c-4.6.2
Running make -j 1...

This still seems to be a zlib error: I think installing zlib using Conda only works if you also use Conda's compilers. What I mean by that, is that the following link line: Contains no paths to your Conda installation. The following: This is the bit I see in the above link line that includes a path to your compiler. If this were Conda supplied compilers, it would report: I am sure there is a reason you are not wanting to install the MOOSE Conda packages, so I won't press. So instead, try this: export LDFLAGS="-L/home/kzimins/miniforge/lib $LDFLAGS"
export METHODS=opt MOOSE_JOBS=6 # this will help speed up the process
./update_and_rebuild_libmesh.shHowever, because there will be plenty of other libraries in this location, I can't guarantee success. There may be additional issues. If so, it may be better if you |

I have no problem with using the MOOSE Conda packages as far as I am aware, how do I go about installing them? |

are you using a personal machine or a computing cluster? We recommend conda packages for the former |

Out of curiosity, what instructions were you following? I'd like to understand if we led you astray somehow! If you are not against installing the MOOSE Conda packages, this all becomes much simpler: conda create -n moose moose-dev mpich
conda activate moose
cd ~/projects/moose
# Lets clean out all previous failed builds for good measure
git clean -Xfd; git submodule foreach --recursive git clean -Xfd
cd test
make -j 6
./run_tests -j 6(6, or however many CPU cores you have). No need to build PETSc, libMesh, or WASP (our packages supply these pre-built). |

The gcc compiler I have on there right now is from some previous linux-based software I was using. This is what I was trying to follow to get MOOSE installed: https://mooseframework.inl.gov/getting_started/installation/install_moose.html |

These are the better instructins for your case |

I made it to the part when I was supposed to build MOOSE and then this happened: Compiling C++ (in opt mode) /home/kzimins/projects/moose/framework/build/unity_src/meshmodifiers_Unity.C... |
