Build the **check_map** utility by following the instructions in **$CCSMROOT/mapping/check_maps/INSTALL**. +Also confirm that the `ESMF `_ toolkit is installed on your machine. When you add new user-defined grid files, you also need to generate a set of mapping files so the coupler can send data from a component on one grid to a component on another grid. There is an ESMF tool that tests the mapping file by comparing a mapping of a smooth function to its true value on the destination grid.
