>I am a beginner in the RegCM3 model run.
>My focus is to run RegCM3 model to simulate past and future climate of the West Africa with particular focus on Nigeria.
>I am working on openSUSE linux distribution with L  _fc_p_10-10.1.022_ia32 compiler installed on my laptop in the directory opt/intel/idb.

I'm sorry I can found any introduction about your compiler "_fc_p_10-10.1.022_ia32" though Internet. 
Try to use PGI or Intel compiler, there is a manual in accessory, please have a look, especially from page 41.

>My Problem

>What might be the problem  ?
!!!
try like this:
ln -s Makefile_your_compiler Makefile
./terrain

>Is the directory of the compiler and that of the RegCM not compatible?
>How do I know the applicable Makefile for my compiler?
!!!
try like this:
ls Makefile*

>How can I move forward from here?
!!!
try like this:
... ...
if (you find a error message) then

	read it carefully

        if ( you can't solve it by yourself) then

    		look for the reason in "manual' or 'google,yahoo ...'

    		if ( you still can't find the answer) then

    			send a letter to "regcnet@lists.ictp.it"

    		endif
    	endif
endif
