Input data root undetected

I am trying to create a new case with the machine generic_linux_intel, but every time I type in:

%% ./create_newcase -case general -mach generic_linux_intel -compset A -res f10_f10 -scratchroot ccsm4_working_copy/CASEROOT -din_loc_root_csmdata /Will/ccsm4_working_copy/input_data -max_tasks_per_node 6 -pes_per_node 6

the system ignores my input data directory and gives the output:

%% Cannot find din_loc_root_csmdata directory Will/ccsm4_working_copy/input_data at ./create_newcase line 206.

I noticed a similar error when I tried to run standalone CAM earlier on. When issuing the build-namelist command I would get the error:

%% build-namelist - CCSM inputdata root is not a directory: "Will/ccsm4_working_copy/input_data"

Please help me to understand what is wrong with my system.

Thank You

CSEG and Liaisons
In both error messages the directory that cannot be found is:

"Will/ccsm4_working_copy/input_data"

which indicates that you provided a relative pathname for the argument. But in the create_newcase command the directory is given as

"/Will/ccsm4_working_copy/input_data"

This isn't consistent with the error message. In any case, the value of the argument needs to be an absolute pathname.

thanks, that was a silly mistake, I pasted the error message wrong. Also the error kept coming up because I had the incorrect root directory name. You really saved me there, I wouldn't have noticed otherwise.

Afterwords I managed to build a standalone CAM run, but I am still having trouble linking to NETCDF. When I run configure with the -test option I keep getting:


configure done.

gmake: xlf90_r: Command not found
gmake: *** [test_nc.o] Error 127

I'm wondering if the problem stems from the xlf90_r command, or if that's a separate issue. It could be that I need to download XL fortran but I wanted to make sure first.
Thanks!
