CICE Configuration Issue with CESM Setup

Hello, I am currently trying to setup CESM with the slab ocean model, which require the CICE model.  I am setting up the model with f02_f02.  I am running into the following issue:
Code:
....<br />CICE configure done.<br />build-namelist - ERROR: No default value found for grid_file
user defined attributes:<br />Died at /global/u1/k/kareed/cesm1_2_1/models/ice/cice/bld/build-namelist line 708.<br />ERROR: cice.buildnml.csh failed
ERROR from preview namelist - EXITING<br /><br />I tried the build-namelist fix here: http://bb.cgd.ucar.edu/configuration-issue-cesmsetup-ice-files, with no luck.<br /><br />Any suggestions?!<br /><br />Kevin<br /><br />

We have had discussions off line about this. It appears the problem is that the CICE is not set up to run at f02 in this case. I would recommend running the CICE/DOCN-SOM at g16 instead, i.e. f02_g16. There are existing SOM forcing files for the gx1v6 resolution.
