A user in the field encountered Tcl errors from the EX module file:

chapel/2.7.0(106):ERROR:102: Tcl command execution failed: if { [string match aarch64 $CHPL_HOST_ARCH] } {
    # ARM-based CPU, 2018-06-08
} elseif { [string match x86_64 $CHPL_HOST_ARCH] } {
    # Cray-XC/HPE Cray EX
[...]

This was running using environment modules version 3.2.11.7 with Tcl 8.6.10

Key issues seem to be:

  • the $cpu variable not existing
  • the $CPU environment variable not being set on the system in question
