Errors when compiling MPAS-A atmosphere core

[cri09]

Hi everyone, I'm Cristiano D'Amico. I'm trying to compile MPAS-A on a remote server I have access to, and up to now I've been able to successfully compile the init_atmosphere core.
On the other hand, when I try to compile the atmosphere core, the compilation process starts and continues for a long (maybe infinite?) time, producing a looping error in the error file that I'm printing (attached below).
I specify that the node which I'm using to compile the model does not have direct access to internet, so I followed the guidelines of the "checkout_data_files.sh" file to clone the Github repository from GitHub - MPAS-Dev/MPAS-Data: MPAS Data Repository and then copy all the necessary files (*.TBL, *DATA* and COMPATIBILITY files) in a subfolder named "src/core_atmosphere/physics/physics_wrf/files".
I would be very grateful if you could help me to solve this problem.
Many thanks in advance,
Cristiano

Besides the physics lookup tables that are downloaded by the checkout _data_files.sh script, you may also need to run the following command from the src/core_atmosphere/physics directory on a machine that does have access to the internet:

./../tools/manage_externals/checkout_externals --externals ./../Externals.cfg

Running the checkout_externals script will download source files for the physics_mmm and physics_noaa directories. It may be easiest to create a tar file of the entire MPAS-Model directory after running the checkout_externals script, and to copy that tar file to the remote server.
