ERROR: Cannot open MEAM library file

Hi,
I’m using a custom build of lammps-stable_29Oct2020 with some plugins enabled (USER-MEAMC included). But lmp returns ERROR: Cannot open MEAM library file (src/lammps-stable_29Oct2020/src/USER-MEAMC/pair_meamc.cpp:223) when I tried to run the input file. How should I fix this?
Thank you.

This is the content of the input file

Turns out LAMMPS_POTENTIALS was not set. I fixed it by executing

export LAMMPS_POTENTIALS=/usr/share/lammps/potentials/
