on Cori: HDF5 library mismatched error when creating unstrcutured mesh file using ESMF

[xiulingao]

Hi there,

I'm trying to make an unstrcutured mesh file from a scrip file using ESMF_Scrip2Unstruct on Cori. But it failed with a HDF5 library mismatched error saying the headers are HDF5 1.10.1 and library is HDF5 1.10.2. I'm not familiar with this but suspect that it has something to do with how esmf is configured on Cori? also the current default HDF5 on Cori is 1.12.1.1.

Thanks!

Xiulin

This is a NERSC specific issue and should be reported to nersc@servicenowservices.com. You may also want to report to the ESMF support team at

Thank you! I contacted esmf suppport team. It seems like that the installed version of ESMF on Cori is a very old version. They are planning to upgrade it at some point. I solved it by installing a pre-built esmf in conda environments, it works fine to just use the command line tool that comes with it.
