Hi Vlad,

It seems you forgot to configure and install Exchanger. From Section 2.7 
of the manaul:

This version of CitcomS is capable of solver coupling. Two or more 
instances of CitcomS solvers can be coupled together to solve a problem 
with different length and time scales. An external Exchanger package is 
needed for solver coupling. You can download Exchanger at CIG’s 
Exchanger web page 
(http://www.geodynamics.org/cig/software/packages/cs/exchanger). After 
you download and untar the package, you can configure and install 
Exchanger using these commands:

$ cd Exchanger-1.0.0/
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/cig
$ make
$ make install

By default, CitcomS will attempt to auto-detect your Exchanger 
installation and will disable Exchanger support if it is not found. You 
may specify the location of your Exchanger installation by setting the 
PYTHONPATH environment variable to the appropriate installation prefix.

$ cd CitcomS-3.0.0/
$ export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/cig/lib/python-2.3/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
$ ./configure --with-exchanger


Cheers,

Eh
