Hi Song Jie,

Looks like a shell (inability to find the specified interpreter)
problem.  It should have been fixed about two months ago when genmake2
stopped using an explicit /bin/bash declaration.  Could you please try a
newer version of MITgcm? 

And if you still get errors, please try explicitly specifying the
interpreter such as:

 $ sh ../../../genamke2 -mods=../code

and then, if that still doesn't work, send us the following info:

 1) the version(s) that you're using (please see the top of 
    "MITgcm/doc/tag-index" and the top of "MITgcm/tools/genmake2" 
    to find the CVS info)
 2) the exact (please cut-and-paste it) command you were using 
    that produced the error
 3) the exact (again, please cut-and-paste) error message

thanks,
Ed
