Cheyenne build modulefiles can not be loaded

[mkavulich]

Description

When attempting to build on Cheyenne using either Intel or GNU compilers, I am met with an immediate failure due to module conflicts:

Steps to Reproduce

Please provide detailed steps for reproducing the issue.

1. Clone ufs-srweather-app on Cheyenne
2. Attempt to build using devbuild.sh using either intel or gnu compilers
3. Observe error:

Intel

./devbuild.sh -p=cheyenne
PLATFORM(MACHINE)=cheyenne
COMPILER=intel
MODULE_FILE=build_cheyenne_intel
... Load MODULE_FILE and create BUILD directory ...
Lmod has detected the following error:  Cannot load module "netcdf/4.8.1" because these module(s) are loaded:

    build_cheyenne_intel  /glade/scratch/kavulich/UFS_SRW/testing/test_new_python_env_activation/ufs-srweather-app/modulefiles/build_cheyenne_intel

Gnu

./devbuild.sh -p=cheyenne -c=gnu
PLATFORM(MACHINE)=cheyenne
COMPILER=gnu
MODULE_FILE=build_cheyenne_gnu
... Load MODULE_FILE and create BUILD directory ...
Lmod has detected the following error:  Cannot load module "netcdf/4.8.1" because these module(s) are loaded:

Additional Context

This error was introduced with the addition of the ncio module to srw_common in #269. The error was not seen in the testing for that PR, which suggests this may be dependent on the specifics of the user's environment.

Temporary Fix

A temporary fix for anyone else observing this error is simply to remove the final line of the srw_common module. The resulting build will not work with the recently introduced GSI component, however.

Permanent Fix

I am working with the NCEPLIBS/spack team to expedite the installation of spack-stack on Cheyenne; I am optimistic that moving to this newer method of installing NCEP libraries will fix this issue.
