library will require the use of slightly modified esmf modules when
compiling these applications. This is needed because of a regression
caused by the updates to some of the underlying libraries. The symptom
of this regression is that applications using the SVML library (with the
flag “-lsvml”) are failing. In our current environment, this is
primarily affecting applications that use “<a href="http://esmf.mk" target="_blank">esmf.mk</a>” file in their build
process. In order to work around this problem you will have to use a
slightly different set of ESMF modules. Shown below are the recommended
substitutions:</div>
