problem with importing eccodes library in flex_extract_v7.1.3

[gance]

Hello
I can't solve a problem with running the new run_bologna script to extract ecmwf fields using the remote access on my new ATOS home directory.

I got the following error message in the job output message

  MARS retrieve done ...

RuntimeError: Cannot find the ecCodes library

I have checked that eccodes is indeed mounted using python3 -m eccodes selfcheck

The  submitscript.template looks correct with 
 module load python3
  module load ecmwf-toolbox
  module load ecaccess

Error occurs when processing the flux accumulated fields.

Could you help to solve this problem ?

Best regards

Dear Gerard,

This might be a problem already reported - I copy the conversation/solution here:

"I experienced the very same error, i.e., RuntimeError: Cannot find the ecCodes library with version 7.1.3. Based on a hint from a flex_extract developer it was solved by substituting both instances of module load prgenv/gnu gcc/8.4.1 in submitscript.template with module load prgenv/gnu gcc/system. It looks like different gcc-compilers are (were?) available on different nodes of the server explaining the unsteady behaviour."
