I am calling this revision number 81 ( @rgknox  edition).  This is the version I ran the initial runs looking at tweaking optical parameters, based on some modifications Ryan had made to the code.  I am trying to run this version again on our new server but have run into a problem when loading the XML config with options set by PEcAn.  Basically the issue is with the path length.  If I set NL%IEDCNFGF   = 'config.xml' then ED2 will load it and run, but if I use the full path (/data/sserbin/Modeling/ED2_Modeling/US-WCr/PEcAn.US-WCr/ED2.r81.run/pecan/run/SA-median/config.xml) for example it will error out with:\r\n\r\n```\r\n+--- Parallel info: -------------------------------------+\r\n+  - Machnum  =      0\r\n+  - Machsize =      1\r\n+--------------------------------------------------------+\r\nReading namelist information\r\nCopying namelist\r\n+------------------------------------------------------------+\r\n|           Ecosystem Demography Model, version 2.2\r\n+------------------------------------------------------------+\r\n|  Input namelist filename is ED2IN\r\n|\r\n|  Single process execution on INITIAL run.\r\n+------------------------------------------------------------+\r\n  => Generating the land/sea mask.\r\n/data/Data/Model_Data/ED2data/ED2drivers/EDI/oge2OLD/OGE2_HEADER\r\n -> Getting file: /data/Data/Model_Data/ED2data/ED2drivers/EDI/oge2OLD/OGE2_30N120W.h5...\r\n -> Getting file: /data/Data/Model_Data/ED2data/ED2drivers/EDI/oge2OLD/OGE2_30N090W.h5...\r\n + Work allocation, node     1;\r\n + Polygon array allocation, node     1;\r\n + Memory successfully allocated on none     1;\r\n [+] Load_Ed_Ecosystem_Params...\r\n [+] Checking for XML config...\r\n\r\n ============================================\r\n Counting PFT(s) in XML: /data/sserbin/Modeling/ED2_Modeling/US-WCr/PEcAn.US-WCr/ED2.r81.run/pecan/run/SA-median/config.xml\r\n Found            3  PFT tags\r\n MAXPFT =           11\r\n Opening ED2 XML Config file/data/sserbin/Modeling/ED2_Modeling/US-WCr/PEcAn.US-WCr/ED2.r81.run/pecan/run/SA-median/config.xml\r\n ERROR STOP IN LINKLIST: THERE IS NO LIST CALLED: /data/sserbin/Modeling/ED2_Modeling/US-WCr/PEcAn.US-WCr/ED2.r81.run/pecan/run/SA-median/config.xml\r\n```\r\n\r\nI assume there is a spot where I can tweak the character length for the path, is that correct?
