Could not build CCSM3 with DGVM

Dear CCSM3 Land Modeling Group

I could not build CCSM3 after I turn on DGVM.

There error message is
xlf90_r: 1501-224 (S) fatal error in /usr/lpp/xlf/bin/xlfentry: signal 11 received
gmake: *** [clmtype.o] Error 251
gmake: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....


The code resides on bluevista in /homebv/fenghe/ccsm3/scripts/b30.PIDV
The error message could be view as
cat /ptmp/fenghe/b30.PIDV/lnd/lnd.buildexe.080510-141220

I had successfully run CCSM3 with DGVM one year ago from bluevista. So I guess this error message is due to some upgrade of either the code or the software from bluevista since then.



Thanks!

Hi,

As you said, the problem is probably due to a compiler update. Blueice still has the old compiler and should work. Alternatively:

> Older compiler version available on bluevista - 3/18/08

> Some users have reported compilation problems since the XLF compiler
> was upgraded to version 11.1 on the IBM POWER5 system, bluevista. CISL
> is working with IBM to resolve these issues.

> Note that IBM no longer supports XLF10.1.0.4 on bluevista, so use it

Hi Sam

After I

setenv PATH /contrib/xlf/10.01.0000.0004/bin:$PATH

on bluevista, I built ccsm3 and dgvm on bluevista successfully using the the old compiler.

Thank you for your help!
 
Hi! Could I ask how you turned on the DGVM in your CCSM3 installation?

I am currently testing out the CCSM3 web portal set up by Teragrid. Because of it's nature as a web portal, I am unable to access the source files and build files like preproc.h, but can access the config files such as the clm prestage file. In this file, I set the flags -maxpft 10 and -bgc dgvm, which is what I do in the offline mode to turn on DGVM. The 2-year run seems to have completed successfully, with no obvious errors, but no clm2.hv files were generated!
