CESM2.1.3 case.setup error

[Soeun]

Hi All,
I encountered case.setup error with error message below:

ERROR: Variable SUPPORTS_CXX is set ambiguously in config_build.xml. Check the file for these conflicting settings:
1: {}
2: {}

When I try to setup again without any action, it worked, but the Macros.make file was empty.
Because of the Macros.make file with nothing written I failed the ./case.build as expected.
Is there anyone who encountered and solved this problem?

Any solution will be greatly appreciated.

What compiler are you specifying? What does the entry in config_compilers.xml look like?
Why are you using 2.1.3 instead of the latest in that series 2.1.4?

 

[Soeun]

Thank you for the reply!

1) I'm using intel compiler. I attached config_compilers.xml.
2) I already have results using 2.1.3, so I have no choice but to use this series (as the case I'm running is ensemble run). Previously, It went well without any case.setup error, so I have no idea why it happens suddenly.

I don't see the problem here. What does the Macros.make file look like in your case directory?

 

[Soeun]

The Macros.make file was made but nothing was written on it.
I think it's related to the case.setup error..

 

[jedwards]

Please run ./case.setup --debug and post the resulting case.setup.log file.

 

[Soeun]

I attached case.setup.log file.
Thank you!

I don't see any errors here - it seems to be writing the Macros.make file - but you say it's empty? Is your disk full?

 

[Soeun]

Yes. the Macros.make file was created but it was empty(no content). Also, the disk is not full.

I solved this problem by removing config_compilers.xml which was in .cime directory!
I don't know why it is solved, but ./case.setup goes well after the action.

Thank you very much for your responses.

I encountered the case.setup error with 2.1.3.The error message is the same as that Soeun encountered.The Macros.make file was made but nothing was written on it. When I try to setup again without any action, it worked, but the Macros.make file was empty. Because of the Macros.make file with nothing written I failed the ./case.build as expected.
Please see the case.setup.log with some errors , my config_compilers.xml and config_machines.xml. I can not solve the probem. Please help me solve it, Thank you!

Please help me solve the errors in my case.setup.log file. Thanks.

 

[jedwards]

I don't understand the issue and don't know how to help - one thing you could try is to update to the
latest tag in the 2.1.x series - 2.1.4

 

[Soeun]

In my case, the presence of the 'config_compilers.xml' file in two different paths was the reason.
The config_compilers.xml was put in both directory, my_cesm_sandbox/cime/config/cesm/machines and .cime.
I removed one from .cime directory, then setup error was solved.

I hope it works!

 

[majiantao]

Thanks for above reply! I removed one from "my_cesm_sandbox/cime/config/cesm/machines",then setup error was solved.

 

[jedwards]

It should be okay to have this file located in both places - I believe that the error indicates that there is a conflict in the contents of the two files.
The file in .cime should not contain any records already present in the file in cime/config/cesm
