Get a SLIM tag that works on Derecho based off of cesm2_3_beta17

[ekluzek]

The latest SLIM is working in cesm2_3 tags, and for example this test on Derecho:

ERS_D_Ld5_PS_Vmct.f10_f10_mg37.I2000SlimRsGs.derecho_gnu.slim-default

Passes in cesm2_3_alpha17a. So it is working on Derecho, but we should make a tag that
updates it to cesm2_3_beta17 (when it's made) with standalone testing moved from
Cheyenne to Derecho. Then SLIM will be able to work on Derecho in a standalone
checkout.

The way around that would be to update the externals in the Externals.cfg file to the
externals in the latest cesm2_3_alpha17X tag.

Hi Erik - what is the path to the test run you reference above? I'm trying to get SLIM to run on Derecho and haven't been able to get it to work (checkout_externals fails if I try and use the SimpleLand repository, and building fails if I try and use the CESM respository on the alpha17a commit).

I did more checking and the test above does setup, but fails on the build step.

It complains as follows...

*** NETCDF not found: Define NETCDF_PATH or NETCDF_C_PATH and NETCDF_FORTRAN_PATH in config_machines.xml or cmake_macros. Stop.

I think that is likely a general issue in getting CESM to build on Derecho. So likely not just an issue with SLIM.

In cesm2_3_alpha17b and cesm2_3_alpha17c the tests fail because of a setup issue.

 ---------------------------------------------------

this might be because SMP_PRESENT was changed to BUILD_THREADED in cime.
