"CCSM inputdata root is not a directory"

This is my first attempt of porting CESM 1.2.2. My goal is to port the model to my local Linux machine so I can hopefully get it to run and become acquainted with it.I am following the instructions in Chapter 5 of the manual. During cesm_setup, I get the following error message:Macros script already created ...skipping
 Machine/Decomp/Pes configuration has already been done ...skipping
 Running preview_namelist script
 infile is /home/cstappert/cesm1_2_2/scripts/test1/Buildconf/cplconf/cesm_namelist
** build-namelist - CCSM inputdata root is not a directory: "/home/cstappert/cesm1_2_2/cstappert_projects/test1/inputdata" **
ERROR: cpl.buildnml.csh failed
ERROR: /home/cstappert/cesm1_2_2/scripts/test1/preview_namelists failed: I have noticed that during cesm_setup, some of the directories I specified in env_build.xml and env_run.xml are created automatically, but the DIN_LOC_ROOT directory does not seem to be. Do I have to create this directory manually?Here is how I have set things up in env_build.xml and env_run.xml:EXEROOT: /home/cstappert/cesm1_2_2/cstappert_projects/test1/buildCESMSCRATCHROOT: /home/cstappert/cesm1_2_2/cstappert_projects/test1DIN_LOC_ROOT: /home/cstappert/cesm1_2_2/cstappert_projects/test1/inputdataRUNDIR: /home/cstappert/cesm1_2_2/cstappert_projects/test1/run
 
I haven't worked with CESM for a while, so my memory is a little foggy on this. However, I do remember that I found the following document helpful:Sameer Ansari and Rocky Dunlap, "Automatic Configuration of CESM/CCSM4 on Amazon EC2 Cloud GT-CS-10-15", 2010Search for it online, it's easy to find. It isn't up-to-date, obviously, but it includes a nice walkthrough on how to set up the old CESM/CCSM4 model on a cloud computing service. You should be able to get plenty of hints from there on how to set up the current model on your local workstation.
