[MITgcm-support] problem running on OS X

Wed Aug 4 11:08:09 EDT 2004

Chris, thanks! That was indeed the problem. But it took me 3 cvs co
attempts to get a fully functional installation.

This appears not to be a problem with cvs on my Mac since I get similar
behavior on a Linux box. For instance 'checkpoint53' would not appear at
the beginning of the output. Even worse, the first time I checked out
c53 (last week) on the Linux machine it would not even compile because the
monitor pkg had not been checked out! Anyway, after several attempts I now
seem to have a full installation on the Linux box too. Never had
such problems before.

I don't really know how cvs works to tell if this is a problem with my
clients or your server. (Would be funny though to get the same problem
on two different platforms.) For instance, when does cvs replace $ tags?
Is it done by the server or the clients? For some reason $Name is not
being correctly replaced in eeintro_msg.F.
