Hi,

I CAN HELP!

> 
> We have installed RegCM3 (downloaded from your web-site: http://www.ictp.trieste.it/~pubregcm/RegCM3/) and have some problems with starting the MODEL, particularly with Pre-Processing phase (Terrain.x for example). When we running the script terrain.x we have some errors: 
> the system couldn't find some commands like "setenv", "ifc".

-----
Well, RegCM3 scripts are written for csh shell so whenever you try to run these in bash or anyother shell, such errors are encountered. Its advisable that you change to csh before running these scripts. This can be done by typing 'csh' in terminal.

I guess that ibyte setting for IFC-8 and IFC-9 should be same so set ibyte=1  in domain.param if you have not done it already.

----------

If you have IFC/PGI compiler then normally you need not to have anyother special software to run RegCM3. When you have downloaded 60 min dataset then I hope you have made adjustments accordingly in domain.param. Set ntypec=60 if you have not already done so.

Now come to this problem:
You have downloaded IFC-9... Remember that Makefile_IFC7 can't work with this compiler version. You must use Makefile_IFC8.

---------
If even after running scripts in csh shell, setting ibyte=1, ntypec=60 in domain.param and using Makefile_IFC8 for compilation, you still find error then don't hesitate to contact again.
