[MITgcm-devel] Re: switching to Fedora Core 5 this summer -- please help

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hello Ed,

I remember sending a reply (but I guess, only to you),
but did not save a copy. So I write it again:

The bottom_ctrl_5x5 ad test does not compile on eddy,
(but it does on faulks) and it would be good to have it fixed 
before moving faulks to FC.5.
Can you talk to Patrick to fix this ?

Thanks,
Jean-Michel
