To harness the full power of Geos-Chem and IDL, some changes must be made to your user account on the CTM server. You can ask the System Administrator to make the changes or you can do it yourself by following this process.
First, log into the CTM server using a terminal program (i.e. PuTTy or Secure Shell Client) and then locate the '.cshrc' file located in your university directory. This file controls the account configuration when connecting to servers. By default, all files starting with a '.' are hidden. Use the Linux command 'ls -la' to get a directory listing showing all files.
ctmuser:/home/campus03/ctmuser> ls -la

Now, open the file for editing with a text editor, such as nano.
If the file has not been edited before, it will just a few lines in it like this:
if (-f /usr/dept/lib/stdcshrc) then source /usr/dept/lib/stdcshrc endif
Now, edit the file so it looks like this:
if (-f /usr/dept/lib/stdcshrc) then
source /usr/dept/lib/stdcshrc
endif

After making the changes, save the file and close the editor. Close the terminal window. Open another terminal window and log in again. Type the commands 'echo $IDL_STARTUP', 'echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH', and 'alias'. If the response matches that shown below, then your account has been updated.
