Hi Ian,

Currently, MITgcm only runs on Unix, Linux, MacOSX, and similar "mostly
POSIX compliant" environments.  To build the most recent versions, you
only need an sh- or bash-compatible shell, some basic shell tools (sed,
awk, etc.), and a Fortran compiler.  So its probably possible to
build/run it within a Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/) environment on
Windows, though I'm not aware of anyone doing that.

We routinely build and run MITgcm on Red Hat 6.2 through 9 systems, so
you should have no problems there.

If you'd like further help, please subscribe to the MITgcm-support list
at:

and we'll do what we can to answer your questions.

Thanks for the interest in MITgcm!

Ed
