Configuring WACCM via CAM standalone scripts

Hello everyone,
I am working with CAM, and in particular I will have to work with the WACCM configuration.I am using the CAM standalone configuration scripts (configure and build-namelist), and I would like to be able to run WACCM using the same scripts.I made successful CAM runs using the standalone configuration, but I ran into some problems when I tried to configure WACCM from those scripts. In particular I tried to run the following configuration (which is one of the standard configurations from http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/models/cesm1.2/cam/docs/ug5_3/ug.html#model_out):        $camcfg/configure -test -debug -v -dyn fv -hgrid 1.9x2.5 -fc ifort -fc_type intel -chem waccm_mozart -phys cam4 -cam_exedir $run_dir -cam_bld $bld_dir -nospm -ntasks $ntasks    

But I got the errors described in the output and error files in attachment. It seems that there are problems finding the initial values of the required fields.I have read that maybe it could be related to the fact that I am using the CAM standalone configuration scripts instead of the CESM scripts.Is there a way to run a WACCM configuration using those CAM standalone scripts? or I have to migrate to the CESM script? or maybe can I manually add the missing species in the namelist?Thank you in advance,Daniele Minganti

WACCM is only supported in the context of CESM. You should switch to CESM if you want to run WACCM.
