Building Error - CESM2.1.4 on Derecho

[cskinner]

Hi,

From a previous post, I saw that CESM2.1.4 has been ported to Derecho. I checked out cesm2.1.4 via "git checkout release-cesm2.1.4".

I created a new case (B1850 compset) but run into an error during the build stage.

The error message is:
ERROR: BUILD FAIL: cism.buildlib failed, cat /glade/derecho/scratch/cskinner/b.day1.0/bld/glc.bldlog.230928-132108

Do I need to follow any additional steps to get this version of CESM running on Derecho?

Thank you!
Chris

The required change is well documented in the error file:
/glade/u/home/cskinner/my_cesm_sandbox/components/cism/source_cism/libglimmer/writestats.c:70:10: note: include the header <ctype.h>

Simply add #include <ctype.h> at the top of file writestats.c

I missed that. Thank you for your help!

Just wonder which CAM version can be run in Derecho? Currently I am running CAM6_3_059 with MPAS dynamic core in Cheyenne. I tried to run it in Derecho but the colde failed to compile.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

CESM2_3_beta15 works there.

Jim,
Thank you for the kind information. I have checked out CESM2_3_beta15. However, my attempt to compile the code failed. In the log file, I can find the error message:

Lmod has detected the following error: The following module(s) are unknown:
"xxdiff"
Please check the spelling or version number. Also try "module spider ..."
It is also possible your cache file is out-of-date; it may help to try:
$ module --ignore_cache load "xxdiff"
Also make sure that all modulefiles written in TCL start with the string
#%Module
Lmod has detected the following error: The following module(s) are unknown:
"grib-bins"

The log file ended with

Create namelist for component cam
Calling /glade/derecho/scratch/chenming/cesm2_3_beta15/components/cam//cime_config/buildnml
  ...calling cam buildcpp to set build time options

I have the script and log files saved in /glade/work/chenming/MMM/csh/ (test.csh and test.log).

I am not sure what is wrong. It will be highly appreciated if you have any suggestion how to fix the issue. Thanks in advance.

By the way, I have tried the command " qcmd -A $proj -- ./case.build" and "./case.build', none of them work. Thanks again.

I'm sorry - your csh scripts are not part of the cesm distribution, I am not responsible for debugging them.
xxdiff is available on derecho without the use of a module load command, I have no idea about grib-bins.

If you were using the cesm tools directly instead of through the script you would see the error:

ERROR: No default value found for drydep_srf_file
I believe that you can set
drydep_srf_file="$DIN_LOC_ROOT/atm/cam/chem/trop_mam/atmsrf_mpasa15_20210804.nc"
in user_nl_cam

to get past this issue.

Hello, I am using cesm2.1.4-rc.08, which seems to be not running on derecho. Then, I followed the threads here and tried:

1) git checkout CESM2_3_beta15
2) added #include <ctype.h> at the top of file writestats.c

Yet, I still get the error:

Create namelist for component cism
Running /glade/work/USERNAME/cesm2.1.4-rc.08/components/cism//cime_config/buildnml

Does anyone have insight for it?

Thanks!

You should use cesm2.1.5 on derecho.
