Hi folks,

  When running on ARCHER (national supercomputer) we need to set new paths for writing cache files because you have to build in /home but compute nodes are only allowed to write to /work. Since the loo.py changes it looks like we need to set paths for loo.py as well, otherwise I get the message at the bottom of this email. How do I set them?

all the best
