I am using CMAQ5.3 on the ubuntu18.04, I have compiled CCTM to get CCTM_v53.exe. My Compiler is gcc 7.4.0, when i am going to run benchmark data(2016_12SE1),the command line Tip is: “source: Too many arguments.”
I have make some configures in the run_cctm_Bench_2016_12SE1.csh
$ ./run_cctm_Bench_2016_12SE1.csh gcc 7.4.0
Start Model Run At Mon Nov 4 14:14:55 CST 2019
source: Too many arguments.This error indicates that too many arguments are being passed into the script, as compared to what it is expecting.
Please try removing the version number and using:
./run_cctm_Bench_2016_12SE1.csh gcc
Thank you for your answer.I am sorry to peply to that it doesn’t matter.
When I input ./run_cctm_Bench_2016_12SE1.csh gcc ,the problem also occur:source: Too many arguments.
Have you solved this problem ?
No，I have not solve this problem.
Please take a look at the following issue, and see if it applies to your case as well.
https://forum.cmascenter.org/t/setenv-too-many-arguments/2033/3Hi, have you solved this problem？ i also meet this problem when i run the benchmark， and ./run_cctm_Bench_2016_12SE1.csh gcc did’t work.
Hello, have you solved this problem？
i also meet this problem when run the benchmark_2016_12SE1，and the solution in replies above didn’t work.
I think your machine uses a true csh, which does not allow arguments to source. Many modern day systems symbolically link csh to tcsh, which does allow arguments to source. If you have tcsh on your machine, change csh to tcsh in any/all the scripts and it should work.
My guess is that this is a csh or tcsh or version issue. For example, on our computational cluster csh is really a symbolic link to tcsh.
ls -lh $(which csh)
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2021-11-08 06:37 /usr/bin/csh -> tcsh
And, in tcsh, source is a built-in command which takes name and one or more args as described in man pages.
$ tcsh
# ...
$ which source
# source: shell built-in command.
According to the documents:
tcsh is an enhanced but completely compatible version of the Berkeley UNIX C shell, csh (1).
That really means backward compatible with additional features. My guess is that the version of csh you are using does not support args for source. For example, these man pages for true csh shows that source does not take arguments except for name.
Run the following commands and post the output:
ls -lh $(which csh)
csh --version
csh
# a new shell will start and then type:
man source | grep source
For context, my outputs were as follows:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2021-11-08 06:37 /usr/bin/csh -> tcsh

resource. A hard limit cannot be increased by a non-root user once it is set; a soft limit may be increased up to the value of the hard limit. If neither -H nor -S is specified, both the soft and hard limits
are set. The value of limit can be a number in the unit specified for the resource or one of the special values hard, soft, or unlimited, which stand for the current hard limit, the current soft limit, and no

I suspect you will find that your csh is not tcsh and your source does not allow arguments.
