./case.setup error in CESM 2.2

[Shreya Bhowmick]

Hi everyone,

I have ported cesm 1.2.2 in a linux server of my university and I am trying to port CESM2.2 in it. I have changed the config_compilers.xml file as recommended yet while setting up a case I am getting the following error which I cannot figure out.

ERROR: The file /mnt/HDD/MODEL/CESM2/my_cesm_sandbox/cime/config/cesm/machines/config_compilers.xml has bad $VAR references. Check for circular references or variables that are used in a $VAR but not actually defined.

Can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks for your time,
Shreya.

Is your machine name "varsha"? Try removing the lines:
<NETCDF_PATH> $(NETCDF_PATH)</NETCDF_PATH>
<PNETCDF_PATH> $(PNETCDF_PATH)</PNETCDF_PATH>

If your system already defines NETCDF_PATH and PNETCDF_PATH you don't need these.

Hi @jedwards,

Thank you so much. It worked! I am getting a new error in the ./case.build process.
I feel that in the 7th line of the attached file there are 2 slashes which might be wrong. I haven't altered anything in the code except config_compilers.xml and
config_machines.xml file. Could you please help me out with this?
Calling /mnt/HDD/MODEL/CESM2/my_cesm_sandbox/components/cam//cime_config/buildnml

Thank you for your time,
With regards,
Shreya.

The file you need to check for the error is
/mnt/HDD/MODEL/CESM2/my_cesm_sandbox/cime/scripts/mnt/HDD/MODEL/CESM2/SCRATCH/F1850/bld/mct.bldlog.230602-173443

that path looks strange to me, it seems like it should be /mnt/HDD/MODEL/CESM2/SCRATCH/F1850/bld/mct.bldlog.230602-173443
Maybe you should consult a system administrator on why that happened?

Hi @jedwards

Currently there is no system administrator. The mct-bldlog file suggests that the NETCDF_PATH could not be found. So I mentioned it in the config_compilers.xml and config_machines.xml file. Still it is giving the same issue. CESM1.2.2 is working with the same NETCDF_PATH. Could you please suggest what can be the problem? The machine name is varsha.

Thank you for your time,
Shreya.

It's not clear to me what's going on. Have you tried defining NETCDF_PATH in the shell environment before running case.build?
I'm not sure if that will work, but it's worth a try.
