error due to restart file

Hi,

I am trying to run the CCSM3.0 in unix system. But I got the error which is given below,

(main) ---------------------------------------------------------------

setenv ATM_GRID `echo $GRID | sed s/_.*//`; setenv LND_GRID $ATM_GRID
setenv OCN_GRID `echo $GRID | sed s/.*_//`; setenv ICE_GRID $OCN_GRID


I do not know what is wrong? I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Hi.
There are problems with the file called 'rpointer'.
This file must be in each components' directory and it must contain the name of the restart file. The formats of the files differ among components.

It seems to me, they are generated automatically by the model run script.

You should check if you have permissions reading/writing the respective directories, if you have enough disk space, and you also should chek your run script and other scripts which it calls to find if everything is OK with rpointer creation.
