PROBLEM WITH THE INSTALLATIONS ROMS

[felipe.jbarragan7]

Hi everyone, I'm Andrés Felipe, a physical oceanographer and recently star to work with ROMS.
Trying the installation have a problem:
When I write this command (cp ~/roms/trunk/ROMS/External/varinfo.dat.), My PC cannot find it from my truck (cp: cannot stat ‘/home/rbadpa/roms/trunk/ROMS/External/varinfo.dat’: No such file or directory), I searched for it and found varinfo.yaml (The source code downloaded of ROMS is giving other archive .yaml and not .dat). I tried changed .yaml for .dat and compiler but was wrong.

Somebody could please help me with it problem?
Thanks.

In our version of ROMS, we no longer distribute the metadata file varinfo.dat but its equivalent YAML file varinfo.yaml.

Thanks, i undertood, but when i try compile with the .Yaml this is the error.

It is telling you the problem! Please, read and understand the error that ROMS is giving you:

YAML_TREE_CREATE - Unable to open input YAML file: ~/roms_project/test/varinfo.yaml
ERROR: Cannot open file '~/roms_project/test/varinfo.yaml': No such file or directory

Do you have varinfo.yaml in you home directory ~/roms_project/test?

If you are using gfortran, you must spell out the full path because it does not support ~/

Dr. Arango thank so much.
I can install of model with your help.
Only change the directory because I'm using gfortran and search and remove the line mnbvc43.

Thanks for all.
