Hi Yuan and Songjie,

Yuan is correct about the makedepend options and there are actually a
total of three possibilities:

  1) a system-wide makedepend ("which makedepend")

  2) a C version in MITgcm/tools/cyrus-imapd-makedepend which 
     can be built with the commands:

      $  cd MITgcm/tools/cyrus-imapd-makedepend
      $  ./configure
      $  make

  3) the shell-script version: MITgcm/tools/xmakedepend

that genmake2 will prefer in the order listed above.

In terms of global_ocean.90x40x15 failing, that is because NetCDF is not
installed for your compiler.  The directions for installing NetCDF are:

As of today (just a few hours ago!), genmake2 has been modified so that
it will automatically turn off the mnc (NetCDF for MITgcm) package when
netcdf is not installed.  If you get the very latest code from CVS, you
can use this new feature.
