Hi, After building OpenIFS from GitHub, the tests seem to get stuck at 458. ```auto (conda-py311)[p341cam@sci-vm-03 openifs-48r1.1]$ $OIFS_TEST/openifs-test.sh -t [INFO]: OIFS_HOME path exists and is /gws/ssde/j25a/ai4er/users/pn341/ifs/openifs-48r1.1 [INFO]: log file for openifs-test is /gws/ssde/j25a/ai4er/users/pn341/ifs/openifs-48r1.1/openifs-test.log [INFO]: cd /gws/ssde/j25a/ai4er/users/pn341/ifs/openifs-48r1.1 [INFO]: Site/host set to local, so assume dependencies are installed and available [INFO]: -j not provided as argument, hence using defaults.

Hi @Pritthijit_Nath, This is not a known problem, I’m afraid. The snippets of screen output that you have provided are unfortunately not very conclusive to allow us to diagnose what problem this might be. We would need a bit more information about your build environment, e.g. what kind of compiler (and version) you are using, what packages you have in your conda env, and we would need to see the complete build.log to diagnose. which you can find here: $OIFS\_HOME/build/build.log If you could provide this information here attached to this post then we will have a look. It is possible that we’ll have to ask you to open a support issue if we need to dig further. Once a solution has been found we can then still post it here in the Forum so others can benefit in future. Kind regards, Marcus ---

Hi Marcus, Thanks for taking this on. And sincere apologies to reply to this a little late. I am pursuing this project mostly on the weekends (you don’t have to FYI 😊). Sure, please find below 3 files: 1. compiler version: `-- The C compiler identification is GNU 11.5.0` `-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 11.5.0` 2. conda packages ---

> [@Pritthijit\_Nath](#): > > google drive link Hi @Pritthijit_Nath, OK, I can see from the log that the model build seems to have completed successfully. That’s good. Looking at the original error, the tests can’t find the file `set_launcher.bash` in the first test `$OIFS_HOME/build/ifs-test/tests/t21/test_fc/`. Could you post perhaps a long format listing of this directory (`ls -l`) ? The file should exist in there as a symbolic link to `$OIFS_HOME/source/ifs-test/bin/set_launcher.bash`. Is this link broken? If you have moved the installation after the model build into a different directory, this could have happened. Also, to allow me to diagnose a bit more other possible problems, could you please post your `oifs-config.edit_me.sh`, the `openifs-test.log`, and the `$OIFS_HOME/build/env.sh` files? They are quite small files, so it should be possible to attach them to this thread. Many thanks, Marcus ---

Hi, I believe that we should better move this discussion into a support issue and continue there. Could you please go to [OpenIFS Support - OpenIFS - ECMWF Confluence Wiki](https://openifs.ecmwf.int/support) and create a new support issue? We will continue to correspond on the issue thread. Once you have done this, could I also ask you to retry installing/building OpenIFS without the option `-i`, i.e. after sourcing the oifs-config file, try to rebuild the model using the following command: `$OIFS_TEST/openifs-test.sh -cbt --clean`? Many thanks, Marcus
