[Mitgcm-support] SunOS5.7

[mitgcm-support at dev.mitgcm.org]

 Hi, I've just downloaded MITgcm in the zipped tar form. My interest is
in fjordic  flows of salinity stratified water over steep topographic
sills, and the  generation of internal jumps, bores etc and also
propagating internal waves. We  are predominantly an observational
group, however I was motivated by Sonia  Legg's talk at EGS/AGU last
week about internal tide/wave generation on a  corrugated slope - and
discussion thereafter with and old friend Tom Haine  convinced me to
have a go with the MITgcm! So I'm trying it out on the only unix machine
I have to hand right now, an old Sun  sparc 10 running SunOS5.7. Am I
wasting my time? Should I get myself a linux  machine? I've tried to
compile for a few of the verification expts - the  following problems
are encountered each time. Any help you can give would be  hugely
appreciated. Thanks in anticipation.

Mark.

  Trying to compile for exp4 the problems so far on the Sun have been 
1) make depend   .......... load of fortran files then  write_state.F
./mdep22933a: cpp: not found (repeated hundreds of times)  2) make  f77
illegal options -xtypemap and -xarch ld: fatal: symbol referenceing
errors
