General hints for users of machines at the Kyushu University computing center

​http://www2.cc.kyushu-u.ac.jp

The default shell at Kyushu University seems to be the tcsh. You should switch to bash- or Korn-shell (ksh) using the chsh command, e.g.:

chsh -s /bin/bash

You will be prompted for your LDAP password.

Furthermore, edit file $HOME/.bash_profile and add the following lines:

# User specific environment and startup programs

PALM_BIN=$HOME/palm/current_version/trunk/SCRIPTS
export PALM_BIN

PATH=$PALM_BIN:$PATH
export PATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/netcdf/4.1.1/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

tatara-system

The system is supported starting from revision r1097. You can find a configuration file adjusted for this system in the svn-repository under /palm/trunk/SCRIPTS/.mrun.config.tatara. Just copy this file to your working directory

cd ~/palm/current_version
cp trunk/SCRIPTS/.mrun.config.tatara .mrun.config

Don't forget to edit the file in order to replace the string <replace by your tatara username> with your respective username.

For the rest of the installation procedure just follow the instructions given on the installation page.
