[MITgcm-devel] test on SunOS

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Martin,

Ed's suggestion is good to try. If it works, I would be 
interested in knowing if an empty getopt.h in the mpack-1.6 dir
is still fixing it (with the original unixpk.c & unixunpk.c).
If nothing works, I m ready to add an option to testreport
to specify the path of the mpack executable, and then you
could use the old version (after the fix of Mon Feb 25,
with cvs co -D "2008-02-25 23:00" you should get it) 
to build it somewhere once, and then to use this one.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
