MOD_NCPARAM - Unable to open variable information file:
ROMS/External/varinfo.dat
Default file is located in source directory.

How to solve such problems??

You need to read carefully the message that ROMS is giving you:

MOD_NCPARAM - Unable to open variable information file:
ROMS/External/varinfo.dat

ROMS is unable to open file ROMS/External/varinfo.dat in your input script ocean_upwelling.in. You need to provide the full path for file varinfo.dat. Is that simple This is well documented in the wiki,

[mtonelli]

Yeah... I actually got that like 15 min after posting. Wish I could remove the post.

Anyway, in case someone else finds the same problem, I just edited ocean_upwelling.in: used "~/Projects/upwelling/varinfo.dat" instead of "ROMS/External/varinfo.dat".

Thanx arango and I'm sorry.

Dear all,

After a non-error compilling:

ROMS/Bin/cpp_clean /Users/leo/ROMS/PROJECTS/Build/master.f90
cd /Users/leo/ROMS/PROJECTS/Build; /usr/local/bin/gfortran -c -frepack-arrays -O3 -ftree-vectorize -msse3 -O3 -ffast-math master.f90

rm -f -r /Users/leo/make_macros.mk



I got the same message:

MOD_NCPARAM - Unable to open variable information file:

Default file is located in source directory.

But my ocean_upwelling.in is set like this:

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

VARNAME = /Users/leo/ROMS/ROMS/External/varinfo.dat

Any suggestion?
Thank you very much

I had the same problem but solved it by copying varinfo.dat to ./Projects/Upwelling directory and editing the ./Projects/Upwelling/ocean_upwelling.in file with the fully qualified path name to the copy of varinfo.dat. The ~ notation did not work.


! VARNAME = ROMS/External/varinfo.dat
VARNAME = /Users/hellyj/src/ROMS/Projects/Upwelling/varinfo.dat
