[MITgcm-support] since we are talking about mnc...

[Nicolas Wienders]

Hi all,
We have a version of mitgcm that we used to run on Mac Os X,
that i just ported on a AMD64.
Compiling on the new platform using a new opt file wasn't too
much trouble until a added mnc in the list of packages.
Here is the error message i am now getting:

cat mnc_cw_cvars.F | ../../../tools/set64bitConst.sh |  cpp  -

Our version of the pkg/mnc is quite old (checkpoint_o) but we can't  
update much since
we have a "home-made" package that we use that needed to do many  
modifications in
the mnc routines (new variables, etc...).

Is there any way this error we are getting at the compilation could  
be solved just
keeping our old mnc version?

Thanks a lot.
