Running ROMS error

#1 Unread post by michaelkwamebiney »

After successfully compiling the upwelling test case i got an executable file "oceanS".
However i get an error everytime i try running it.
This is the command i used to run the oceanS executable
./oceanS <ocean_upwelling.in

And this is the error i keep on getting

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

NB: I have changed the path in the input file to the exact location of the varinfo.dat file but the error still remains

You are probably specifying the path incorrectly.

Just try copying varinfo.dat to the directory where you have oceanS and ocean_upwelling.in, and remove any path information to the file in ocean_upwelling.in, i.e. have:

VARNAME = varinfo.dat
