Machine not found when trying to set up cpnrc

[James King]

Hi,

I'm trying to install CESM2.1.3 on the UK HPC ARCHER2. I have successfully run checkout_externals so should have the model working, but apparently I need to set up a programme called cpnrc. When I run the command

../configure --macros-format=Makefile --mpilib=mpi-serial

I get the error:

ERROR: No machine archer2 found

Even though archer2 is present in the config_machines.xml file. Adding the switch

--machine=archer2

Results in the same error. Any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it?

Thanks,

James

Try setting CIME_MODEL=cesm in the environment first.

Hi Jim,

I tried that:

export CIME_MODEL=cesm

But I'm getting the same error when I try to do anything (e.g. create a new case).

Thanks,

James

try running configure with --debug, then grep the configure.log for CIME_MODEL.

Thanks -seems to work now so maybe I just needed to wait for the environment variable changes to propagate or something.

Hello James. The ARCHER2 documentation has information about this on page: First-Time setup of CESM 2.1.3 - ARCHER2 User Documentation
and a quick start here Quick Start: CESM Model Workflow (CESM 2.1.3) - ARCHER2 User Documentation (which refers you to the above link first though).
