configure cam5: -dyn se -hgrid ne2np4

Dear CAM community,This is a dupplicate of my posts in CESM/Software Development - this seems a more appropriate forum. I am trying to configure cam5 directly. I am issuing:~/src/cesm1_2_1/models/atm/cam/bld/configure -fc mpif90 -fc_type gnu -cc mpicc -dyn se -hgrid ne2np4 -ntasks 2 -debug -nosmp -testto configure my build, however I am getting: Issuing command to the CICE configure utility:~/src/cesm1_2_1/models/ice/cice/bld/configure -hgrid ne2np4 -cice_mode prescribed -ntr_aero 0 -nx -ny 1 -bsizex -bsizey -maxblocks -decomptype -cache config_cache_cice.xml -cachedir ~/build/cam-5.3-se-ne2np4Value "-ny" invalid for option nx (number expected)'-hgrid ne30np4' works correctly, however this configuration takes a long time to run.I am trying to configure the simulation with a smaller grid to make debugging easier. Do you have any suggestion on how to fix the problem? It seems the problem is in~/src/cesm1_2_1/models/atm/cam/bld/config_files/horiz_grid.xmlwhere ncol="" for my grid size (ne2np4). Does this mean I cannot run cam5 with this grid size? Thanks,Dan

As Jim mentioned on the other forum the cesm1_2_2 release doesn't support ne2np4.  On the current CAM development trunk there is support for ne5np4 which will be released with CESM2 next summer.

Thank you. I might try that if the larger grids take too long for me.
