Peter,
To some extent I can understand the need to specialize shells,
especially for optimization of batch processing directives. However,
someone reasonably competent with a particular shell should be able to
set up environment variables and such in a manner likely to make a build
work.
Add as a complication, that the WRF scripts are prepackaged and not in
the (preferred) korn shell... I'm not sure I want to undertake
relearning korn to do that translation!
Anyway, thanks for the note. I'm slowly changing how I do my work to
satisfy the sysadmin on an AiX machine (which also satisfies my boss...)

Gerry,
I just wanted to note that if it's difficult to recompile using a
different shell, perhaps because of elaborate build scripts in tcsh or
something, then your admin is right, he can't help you debug the make
until you switch shells. With the burgeoning complexity of the business
specialization is necessary. We can't expect admins to be programmers
too, anymore.
If I install LISP and emacs on this XP box I can't expect the MCSE to
help me :-) for reductio ad absurdum :-)

I'm trying to get WRF-NMM running on a new IBM p575 and having some
issues. Anyone on here gone down that path and willing to offer a
little advice?
Please reply off-list. Note: AiX spoken on this system. Leads to all
sorts of interesting things when the sysadmin states he can't tell me
why it fails to compile 'til I stop using either bash or sh as my
shell.
