Finding perl, csh, and sh

[Jbuzan]

Hello Discuss CESM staff:

I am trying to ./preview_namelists in my case, but I get an error related to sh ( probably csh and perl as well).

$ ./preview_namelists
ERROR: module command None purge failed with message:
/bin/sh: None: command not found

I set up the config_machines.xml:

<module_system type="module">
<init_path lang="perl">/usr/bin/perl</init_path>
<init_path lang="csh">/usr/local/bin/csh</init_path>
<init_path lang="sh">/usr/bin/sh</init_path>
<cmd_path lang="perl">/usr/bin/perl perl</cmd_path>
<cmd_path lang="sh">/usr/bin/sh sh</cmd_path>
<cmd_path lang="csh">/usr/local/bin/csh csh</cmd_path>
<modules>
<command name="purge"/>
<command name="load">cray/23.12</command>
<command name="load">PrgEnv-gnu</command>
<command name="load">cray-parallel-netcdf</command>
<command name="load">cray-hdf5-parallel</command>
<command name="load">cray-netcdf-hdf5parallel</command>
<command name="load">cray-python</command>
</modules>
</module_system>

sh, csh, and perl are all available on the Eiger machine, just not as modules.

jbuzan@eiger-ln003:~/.cime [15:44:00] $ which perl
/usr/bin/perl
jbuzan@eiger-ln003:~/.cime [15:47:47] $ which sh
/usr/bin/sh
jbuzan@eiger-ln003:~/.cime [15:47:48] $ which csh
/usr/local/bin/csh

I think I do not understand the syntax of the xml file. the CSCS staff was wondering if I can call these programs without modules.

Cheers,
-Jonathan

These are not pointers to the shells themselves, they are pointers to the modules interface to the shells
if you aren't using modules you don't need them. It looks like you have module_system type="None" it should be
type="none"

Thanks! I made it past that error! Onto the next one...
