esmf-mpi/8.3.0 build issue #21

Closed jedwards4b closed 1 year ago

jedwards4b commented 1 year ago

When I try to build cesm with this module I get an error: /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/7/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lxerces-c

I think that the solution is to build esmf without the xerces library which we do not use. Another issue is that with the intel compiler I am using mkl and not libsci but esmf is built with libsci and so I get another error: /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/7/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lsci_intel I can work around this for now by using libsci instead of mkl

The same error with xerces was found with a gnu build.

Hi @jedwards4b - thanks for the ping on this. I believe the xerces error should be resolved for new CESM builds by the changes announced in the Gust Slack channel this morning. When you have a chance, please rebuild your case and see if the -lxerces-c problem is gone.

The use of libsci will stick around for now, but if this becomes blocking for your work let me know and I can build an alternate ESMF for you.

The xerces-c problem is gone. Thanks!
