I am trying to update suite u-cc339 to run using MetUM vn12.1; I am working with a copy of this suite, ID u-da133. The suite is a regional climate simulation using GA7 atmosphere and coupled to the KPP ocean model.

I am currently having trouble compiling KPP-ocean. fcm\_make2\_kpp fails with:

[FAIL] /opt/cray/pe/cce/15.0.0/binutils/x86\_64/x86\_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: libfabric.so.1, needed by /opt/cray/pe/mpich/8.1.23/ofi/cray/10.0/lib/libmpi\_cray.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)  
[FAIL] /opt/cray/pe/cce/15.0.0/binutils/x86\_64/x86\_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /opt/cray/pe/mpich/8.1.23/ofi/cray/10.0/lib/libmpi\_cray.so: undefined reference to `fi\_strerror@FABRIC\_1.0’

Could you help me find the missing library?

Many thanks,  
Dan

You have a few things loaded in your pre-script. Will changing it to this work:

module load cce/15.0.0  
module use /work/y07/shared/umshared/moci/modules/modules; module load GC3-PrgEnv/v1;  
module load atp  
module list 2\>&1  
unset OMP\_NUM\_THREADS  
ulimit -s unlimited

?  
(I have to admit - I got this by nosing around for other people’s things rather than having done this myself)

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply! I didn’t end up implementing your suggestion, but it did tell me where to look. I was pointing to an old version of the libfabric library; pointing to the correct one in /opt/cray/libfabric did the trick.

Cheers,  
Dan
