Before we get going, let's make some light edits to your .cshrc file.  First, near the top of your .cshrc file add the word:
unlimit
We're not sure what this means, but Arlindo says it is important.
Next, let's setup an environment variable GEOSUTIL that points to the GEOS_Util directory in your model build.  In my case, it looks something like:
setenv GEOSUTIL /home/colarco/GEOSagcm/src/Shared/GEOS_Util
The GEOS_Util stuff is needed by the post-processing scripts.
Finally, let's make sure that your binaries from your compiled GEOS-5 code are in your path.  Include the following line somewhere in your .cshrc file:
setenv PATH .:/home/colarco/GEOSagcm/Linux/bin:$PATH
where obviously you replace the particular path to my binaries (/home/colarco/GEOSagcm/Linux/bin) with your path.  Note what this implies: it won't be a good idea to move or clean this directory while the model is running!

One thing to do before running the code: let's make sure that your binaries from your compiled GEOS-5 code are in your path.  Include the following line somewhere in your .cshrc file:
setenv PATH .:/home/colarco/GEOSagcm/Linux/bin:$PATH
where obviously you replace the particular path to my binaries (/home/colarco/GEOSagcm/Linux/bin) with your path.  Note what this implies: it won't be a good idea to move or clean this directory while the model is running!
At this point we're ready to take a crack at running the model.  Go into your experiment home directory (e.g., /home/colarco/geos5/dragnet).  You can start the model job by issuing:
