+== Should I always believe the LibIGCM Script-files? ==
+Probably you should but sometimes you have to look beyond the first error message. In December 2016 several users setting-up a clean installation where surprised to see their clean installation crash in LibIGCM and to find the following error message in the Script-file
+
+{{{
+netcdf/4(10):ERROR:150: Module 'netcdf/4' conflicts with the currently loaded module(s) 'netcdf/4p'
+netcdf/4(10):ERROR:102: Tcl command execution failed: conflict netcdf/4p
+}}}
+
+If this is the only error-message in the script-file then the solution may indeed be described in the section 'Why would I want to install another netcdf library?'. Nevertheless, before jumping to this conclusion, have a closer look at the script-file. In December 2016, this netcdf problem reported in the script-file could not be confirmed for Obelix. The problem was caused by the users trying to use IOIPSL rather than the now default XIOS system and LibIGCM correctly reported on the issue in the script-file. Given that the need to use IOIPSL rather than XIOS is typical for older branches, the correct settings are included in the item 'How to download and compile ORCHIDEE-DOFOCO?'.

 == Why would I want to install another netcdf library? ==
 You don't want to install another netcdf library. In general all is taken care of by the TCCG and the libIGCM team. Nevertheless, there was a netcdf-related problem in March 2015 and this was the procedure to load a different netcdf library, use it for the compilation and use it for running the model.
