Dear Forum,I'm trying to port CESM version 2.0.0 onto a new machine. I have followed the instructions under http://esmci.github.io/cime/users_guide/porting-cime.html. In particular I have edited and validated the config_*.xml files under ~/.cime. When I try setting up a test case (using case.setup) I get the following error message: The file ~/cesm2_0_0/cime/config/cesm/machines/config_compilers.xml has bad references. Check for circular references or variables that are in a tag but not actually defined.This is also where the test script scripts_regression_tests.py crashes (test case J_TestCreateNewcase), giving the same error message.Thanks in advance for your help.

In the file config_compilers.xml if you have a variable $VARNAME that cannot be resolved (has not already been defined elsewhere) you will get this error.   If the variable is defined in the environment you can use $ENV{VARNAME} and if it is only used in the resulting Makefile you can use $(VARNAME).   One of these should solve the problem.
