[cam-users] total novice "bug"

[Kevin Raeder]

I hope this is the right venue for this problem.

I'm trying to run CAM for the first time, using the instructions
on the CAM User's Guide "Quick Start" web page.  I downloaded the
standard configuration, moved it to Blackforest, uncompressed and
un'tar'ed, it, and changed the name of 'camroot' to the location of
the source code and data
( from ##set camroot      = /fs/cgd/data0/$LOGNAME/cam2.0.1
  to   set camroot      = ${HOME}/CAM/cam2.0.1), and ran run-ibm.csh.)

I get the following message:

** Cannot find libnetcdf.a in specified directory: /usr/local/lib
**
** The NetCDF library directory is determined from the following set of options
listed
** from highest to lowest precedence:
** * interactively, enabled by command-line option -i
** * by the command-line option -nc_lib
** * by a default configuration file, specified by -defaults
** * by the environment variable LIB_NETCDF
** * by the default value /usr/local/lib
configure failed


2) I don't know where to look for the "configuration cache xml" file
   (I do find a config_cache_defaults.xml file)

3) The namelist files are whatever is provided with the Quick Start
   standard configuration.

4) I didn't find any log files in /ptmp/$LOGNAME/$CASE (which doesn't exist)
   or /ptmp/$LOGNAME/$case.

It looks like something simple which I shouldn't have to dig to figure out.
Tell me if I'm wrong about that, or please point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
