Build error with CESM1.2.0 in new machine

[ihmn_zgz@gmail_com]

Hello there,
I'm trying to build a 'test1' case of CESM1.2.0 in a new intel machine. I followed the steps in the user guide, but got this error when running test1.build:-------------------------------------------------------------------------

THe file cesm.bldlog.160823-120841 is quite big, so I attached it to the post. Basically, it starts with a "cat: Srcfiles: No such file or directory" and at the end got a ton of errors similar to "shr_mct_mod.F90:(.text+0x1b3): undefined reference to `nf_open_'". It looks to me like a library problem. I loaded the modules 'intel', 'netcdf' and 'openmpi' in env_mach_specific, and set NETCDF_PATH and MPI_PATH in Macros. What am I missing?

You should go back to cesm1.2.2 and follow the instructions to download pio

I was able to solve this, I will post it just in case somebody else has the same problem. In the Macros file I had this line:SLIBS+= $(shell $(NETCDF_PATH)/bin/nc-config --flibs)The problem was solved when I changed it to:SLIBS+= $(shell $(NETCDF_PATH)/bin/nf-config --flibs)Apparently newer versions of netcdf like nf-config better than nc-config.I was also able to solve my problem with the pio directory. I'll post that in the corresponding post.

Hi Ignacio,I had the same error as yours when building my case, but it wasn't solved after I changed 'nc-config' to 'nf-config'. Could you please tell me how you solved your prblem with the pio directory? Thanks a lot!Bai

Did you also follow the instructions to download pio? It is not downloaded automatically when downloading CESM because the repostory where it should be is not available. To do so, go into models/utils and execute this command:> svn checkout https://github.com/NCAR/ParallelIO.git/tags/pio1_8_12/pioIf I remember correctly, a utility called genf90 that also failed to download is necessary as well to not have an error here. Go into tools/cprnc and execute this command:> svn checkout https://github.com/PARALLELIO/genf90/tags/genf90_140121 genf90That, along with the nf-config thing, did the trick for me. It should also work for you.
