QUESTION about ESMF_DIR variable in build.bash

[dnavidad]

Hi everybody,

this is part of my build.bash.

I wonder about the role of ESMF_DIR in this part of the file, because really this path doesn't exist in my cluster, but i don't get any error about this when compiling.

thanks.

export USE_MY_LIBS=on #Changed

if [ -n "${USE_MY_LIBS:+1}" ]; then
case "$FORT" in
ifort )
export ESMF_DIR=/opt/intelsoft/esmf-3.1.0
export ESMF_OS=Linux
export ESMF_COMPILER=ifort
export ESMF_BOPT=O
export ESMF_ABI=64
export ESMF_COMM=mpich
export ESMF_SITE=default
export MCT_INCDIR=/opt/netcdf/3.5.1-intel/include
export MCT_LIBDIR=/opt/netcdf/3.5.1-intel/lib

ESMF is a coupling library. If you aren't using this library, then you don't have to have the correct path to it.

thanks,

really i try to run the inlet test with swan and roms.

is it important to this case?

in any case i put the right path.

thanks.

I've never run coupled, but I thought the main coupling was done with MCT, not ESMF. Perhaps you have a choice.

thanks.
