[MITgcm-support] genmake2 problem on alpha

[jeff polton]

Hi. I'm trying to compile the gcm code on an Alpha but it wont run 
genmake2 successfully.
When I run the genmake2 command it doesn't get very far in the genmake2 
process:

--------------
 >../../../tools/genmake2

GENMAKE :

A program for GENerating MAKEfiles for the MITgcm project.  For a
quick list of options, use "genmake -h" or for more detail see:

   http://mitgcm.org/devel_HOWTO/

===  Processing options files and arguments  ===
   getting local config information:  none found
../../../tools/genmake2: Command usage error at line 787: `;' 
unexpected.

--------------

This same code works fine on a linux machine so I was quite surprised 
when it failed so early on the alpha. I guess there is something wrong 
with the setup on the alpha. Has anyone had any experience of this sort 
of problem before?

The machine details are:
 >uname -svrp
OSF1 V5.0 1094 alpha

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Jeff
