Module files on Gaea C6 do not allow UPP to compile

[EricJames-NOAA]

I am unable to compile UPP on Gaea C6. Loading the modulefile "gaeac6" produces the following error message:

Lmod has detected the following error: The following module(s) are unknown: "hdf5/1.14.3" "ip/5.0.0"

Please check the spelling or version number. Also try "module spider ..."
It is also possible your cache file is out-of-date; it may help to try:
$ module --ignore_cache load "hdf5/1.14.3" "ip/5.0.0"

Also make sure that all modulefiles written in TCL start with the string #%Module

Executing this command requires loading "hdf5/1.14.3" which failed while processing the following module(s):

@gspetro-NOAA @FernandoAndrade-NOAA Could you address this issue?

[gspetro-NOAA]

I've reached out to my teammates who are working on Gaea C6 and will let you know when I hear back or put them in touch with you.

Gaea-c6 modulefile was not updated to use the spack-stack-1.8.0 as several other platforms.
#1062

The modulefile ./modulefiles/gaeac6.lua needs an update!

[RatkoVasic-NOAA]

As @natalie-perlin said, two lines in modulefiles/gaeac6.lua has to be changed:

-prepend_path("MODULEPATH", "/autofs/ncrc-svm1_proj/epic/spack-stack/c6/spack-stack-1.6.0/envs/upp-addon-env/install/modulefiles/Core")
+prepend_path("MODULEPATH", "/ncrc/proj/epic/spack-stack/c6/spack-stack-1.8.0/envs/ue-intel-2021.10.0/install/modulefiles/Core")

-cmake_ver=os.getenv("cmake_ver") or "3.23.1"
+cmake_ver=os.getenv("cmake_ver") or "3.27.9"

Result:

[ulmononian]

@EricJames-NOAA did you have a chance to give the suggestions @RatkoVasic-NOAA / @natalie-perlin made?

@FernandoAndrade-NOAA is there a plan to update the c6 modulefile accordingly?

[gspetro-NOAA]

It looks like @EricJames-NOAA opened PR #1116 an hour ago to update the modulefiles, so it sounds like this moving along! But @EricJames-NOAA , feel free to chime in!

[EricJames-NOAA]

@gspetro-NOAA @ulmononian yes, I opened that PR to make the needed changes to the modulefile! I am now able to compile UPP on Gaea C6 using tests/compile_upp.sh, although I have to comment out all the "module" commands and load the environment manually. Probably something is not right with my environment. But at least the modulefile should be good with this PR.

[WenMeng-NOAA]

@ulmononian @gspetro-NOAA Would the EPIC like to do a UPP executable build testing on Gaea C6 with PR #1116? At EMC side, we don't have Gaea access. Otherwise, the PR is ready for merging since the UPP RTs don't include Gaea.

[gspetro-NOAA]

Yes, I will test the build on PR #1116 !
