Testcase2 Error

[Lise-Li]

Hi, LISF Community.
I'm running the public testcase walkthrough, and I met the following error when I run the step2. I have never changed the lis.config, and download the NLDAS data through the wget.sh provieded by the INPUT directory. I provide my lislog_ol.0000 and lis.config in the attached files. Please find the attached files.
lislog_ol.0000.txt
lis.config_noah36_ol.txt

Please kindly let me know how to solve this error.
Thank you!

Hello Lise Li,

From your running directory (where the LIS executable is found), do you see this file if you do this?
ls -l ./INPUT/NLDAS2.FORCING/2017/001/NLDAS_FORA0125_H.A20170101.0000.002.grb

Perhaps the NLDAS-2 forcing files were downloaded into the wrong directory. Have you followed all the steps in the "Download the Meteorological Forcing Dataset" section of:
https://nasa-lis.github.io/LISF/public_testcase_walkthrough/public_testcase_walkthrough.html#_step_2_lsm_open_loop_ol_experiment_lis

Also, are you using GRIBAPI or eccodes for your GRIB library?

Hello, @dmocko !

Thank you for your reply! The following are my configure.lis and result of echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
configure.lis.txt

Please kindly let me know how to solve this error.
Thank you!

Hi - I don't see your entire LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Can you try again please?

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH > ld_library_path.txt

And attach the .txt file. Do you have the eccodes lib in your LD_LIBRARY PATH?

[dmocko]

Also please attach your ./INPUT/forcing_variables.txt file.

And I will ask more directly this time. Please copy exactly what you see when you type this in the same directory as the LIS executable:

ls -l ./INPUT/NLDAS2.FORCING/2017/001/NLDAS_FORA0125_H.A20170101.0000.002.grb

The more I look into this, it seems to be an issue with you accessing this file (permissions?) or the download was corrupted.

Hi, @dmocko

This morning after your inspiration, I realized that my problem was that I didn't set the eccodes library path in ~/.bashrc, so I set it and regenerated the LIS executable. Currently, step2 is running successfully. Thanks again for your help! Also attached are a couple of files you mentioned to make sure I did it right this time.
configure.lis.txt
ld_library_path.txt
forcing_variables.txt
The following is after I type the ls command:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lihuijie lihuijie 1732574 Feb 16 2018 ./INPUT/NLDAS2.FORCING/2017/001/NLDAS_FORA0125_H.A20170101.0000.002.grb

Please kindly let me know if I did it right this time.
Thank you

Glad that it is resolved. Yes, that's correct, and the file size is accurate for that file.

Greate! Many thanks for your help!
