"Can't exec xxdiff" error

JULES
1

Hi CMS Helpdesk,

I upgraded my JULES branch to the next model version. During merging, many text conflicts were listed. When I use the ‘fcm conflicts’ command to pop up the 3-way xxdiff display, I get the error below. Am I using this command in the wrong way?

-bash-4.2$ pwd
/home/users/gorguner/vn6.2_wtrac_branch
-bash-4.2$ fcm conflicts
[info] src/control/shared/fluxes.F90: in text conflict.

Hi Merve,

That is indeed the correct usage.

I’ve just tried running that command and get the same error message as you. It looks like xxdiff which is used to show the conflicts is not available…

rshatcher@cylc1$ xxdiff
-bash: xxdiff: command not found
rshatcher@cylc1$ which xxdiff
/usr/bin/which: no xxdiff in (/apps/jasmin/metomi/bin:/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/puppetlabs/bin:/home/users/rshatcher/bin)

The installations of Rose/Cylc/FCM are maintained by the JASMIN team. Please contact the JASMIN helpdesk.
