Hi Martin: Did you get it working yet? Patrick ---

Hi Patrick, I didn’t get a chance to try again this week, working on this big grant for August. I will try and have another crack next week once I have more words on the page and feel I can multi-task again. I appreciate you following up, be assured I will be following this up. Martin ---

Hi Patrick, OK running now, I will update soon. M ---

Hi, It failed at the plotting stage again. I’ve checked and all the sites worked fine so I’ve triggered the plotting script again, it has just been submitted. M ---

It looks like you’re using a different version of `cylc` than I am. Your `job` script for `make_plots`: `~mdekauwe/cylc-run/u-co635v2/log/job/1/make_plots/02/job` has: `export CYLC_DIR='/apps/jasmin/metomi/cylc-7.8.7'` whereas a recent version that I think worked for me: `~/cylc-run/u-al752currentworking8/log/job/1/make_plots/01/job` has: `export CYLC_DIR='/apps/contrib/metomi/cylc-7.8.1'` Maybe you can fix this by changing your `.bashrc` file so that it has: `export PATH=/apps/contrib/metomi/bin:$PATH` instead of: `export PATH=$PATH:/apps/contrib/metomi/bin` then: 1. log out of `cylc1` and log back in 2. `cd ~/roses/u-co635v2` 3. `rose suite-run --reload`. (or maybe you need to do `rose suite-run --restart`) 4. `rose sgc` 5. retrigger your `make_plots` app, by right clicking on it and choosing the retrigger option 6. `grep CYLC_DIR= ~/cylc-run/u-co635v2/log/job/1/make_plots/03/job` (or whatever version you are using instead of 03) 7. the grep should maybe say (if it doesn’t, then maybe something didn’t work as planned): `export CYLC_DIR='/apps/contrib/metomi/cylc-7.8.1'` 8. maybe it will run properly then. Please let me know. 9. if it doesn’t work, I might then suggest starting the suite new again, either with `rose suite-run --new` or by making/running a new copy of the suite with `rosie` or maybe just with a linux command-line copy.

Hi Martin: Is it working better now? Patrick ---

> [@pmcguire](#): > > /home/users/mdekauwe/cylc-run/u-co635/ Hi Patrick, I just checked and no luck, it failed at the plotting step again. So, that should rule out differences in the cycl, as I’ve matched that step and I started a brand new run. Thanks, Martin ---

Hi Martin: Maybe you can try putting some print statements especially at the beginning of the file: `/home/users/mdekauwe/cylc-run/u-co635v2/bin/make_plots.py` in order to ensure that the Python interpreter is actually properly getting into this file and then crashing? After you put the print statements in there, you can retrigger the make\_plots app in the cylc GUI. I don’t think that you need to do a `rose suite-run --reload`. The output of the print statements will be in the job.out log file: `/home/users/mdekauwe/cylc-run/u-co635v2/log/job/1/make_plots/NN/job.out` I think the NN version of the job.out file is the latest version.

Hi Martin I noticed an issue with make\_plots for the u-al752 suite on JASMIN. Since your ticket has been closed, I just reopened the ticket, to respond properly. The make\_plots app fails for some weird reason unless this line is deleted in the [[PLOTTING\_CEDA\_JASMIN]] section of site/suite.rc.CEDA\_JASMIN : env | grep LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH Does that help you?

Hi Patrick, I can confirm that it the whole suite ran for me when that line was removed. Thanks, Martin ---

Hi Martin: I am very glad to hear that it works now! The jinja language used in Rose/Cylc must be doing something that I don’t currently understand when the `env | grep LD_LIBRARY_PATH` is executed for an empty `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` path. I think that this line of code is not absolutely necessary, so I am deleting it now from the code for the `u-al752` suite. The checked-in MOSRS version of this suite now doesn’t have this line of code. There is a similar line of code elsewhere in the suite’s environment settings, where `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` contains actual directory names, and that seems to work fine.
