SCRATCH variable

[yadnyesh_joshi@yahoo_com]

Hi,
As documented in CCSM 3 slides, I tired to configure the case.
I used generic_linux as the machine name.
But when I tried to configure it, it gave me a warning :
## Warning: SCRATCH not defined in system environment. Set SCRATCH to be /home/yadnyesh
./yadu/case1: No such file or directory.
configure generate_resolved error
I set the SCRATCH variable. I also set it my .cshrc file. And the directory yadu/case1 exists. But still, I am getting the same error. Can you please suggest something?
Thank you,
Yadnyesh.

I don't think this is a fatal error; it looks to be a warning message (and in fact, it is labeled as "warning," not "error."

The script that generates this message contains the block

# -------------------------------------------------------------------------
# General machine specific environment variables - edit before the initial build
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------
if !($?SCRATCH) then
set SCRATCH = $HOME
echo "## Warning: SCRATCH not defined in system environment. Set SCRATCH to be $HOME";
endif

This tests for the existence of $SCRATCH, and if it isn't found, it sets SCRATCH to $HOME and continues, after printing out a message warning you that it has defined $SCRATCH for you.


If I'm right, then the script actually worked, and you should see the directories Buildexe, Buildlib, Buildnml_Prestage, SourceMods, as well as the scripts $case.$machine.build, $case.$machine.l_archive, and $case.$machine.run in your case directory.
