[MITgcm-support] question about testscript

[Martin Losch]

Hi,

I just downloaded a fresh version of the MAIN branch and I am running 
./testreport in verification. As far as I can see, all experiments 
which use a separate build directory (instead of input) fail on my 
machines (Redhat9-Linux and Mac OS X, basically BSD-Unix), the reason 
is the line (actually twice, once in the functioin "linkdata"):
  "( cd $dir/build; ln -sf ../input/* )"
This line returns
ln: ./CVS: Operation not permitted
before genmake and after make
because in build there is already a ./CVS directory. Then the model is 
not run because of the && after linkdata returned an error code.
Am only I having the problem? If so, what can I do about it?

Martin
