MOD_NCPARAM - Unable to open variable information file

[Lee2015]

When I run "mpirun -np 8 oceanM ocean_lattec.in", I got the following error. What's the problem? Thanks!

MOD_NCPARAM - Unable to open variable information file:

Default file is located in source directory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun has exited due to process rank 0 with PID 11033 on
node lee-OptiPlex-9010 exiting improperly. There are two reasons this could occur:

1. this process did not call "init" before exiting, but others in
the job did. This can cause a job to hang indefinitely while it waits
for all processes to call "init". By rule, if one process calls "init",
then ALL processes must call "init" prior to termination.

2. this process called "init", but exited without calling "finalize".
By rule, all processes that call "init" MUST call "finalize" prior to
exiting or it will be considered an "abnormal termination"

This may have caused other processes in the application to be
terminated by signals sent by mpirun (as reported here).

It is looking for the file, the name of which is provided in the ocean.in file:

Code: Select all

! Input variable information file name.  This file needs to be processed
! first so all information arrays can be initialized properly.

     VARNAME = /center/w/kate/NEP/External/varinfo.dat

Do you have a VARNAME line in your input file?

I attempt to try Lattec run01 case. I have VARNAME = ../in/varinfo.dat in ocean_lattec.in file. And I have the varinfo.dat file in "in" folder.

Attached are my varinfo.dat and ocean_lattec.in files.

You are using a very old test case. The svn $Id in your files shows this.

Code: Select all

!svn $Id: ocean_latte_c.in 272 2007-05-08 14:59:06Z zhang $

Code: Select all

!svn $Id: varinfo.dat 273 2007-05-08 15:03:59Z zhang $

These files are unlikely to work with a recent version of the code. I recommend you use a more up to date test case.

Thanks wilkin! Can you provide a newer case? Or where can I get a newer one?
