[MITgcm-support] IBM

[Patrick Heimbach]

Martin,

not sure whether this helps.
On blackforest we have
/usr/bin/cc -> /usr/vac/bin/xlc
and also
/usr/local/bin/gcc -> /usr/vac/bin/xlc
So I'm guessing your machine doesn't have the cc softlink.

Re. CC in optfile, there seems to be a problem
indeed with genmake2
(e.g. no line similar to
CC = ${CC}
)

-p.
