[MITgcm-support] Re: compiling MITgcm on Altrix - small problemHi Uli,

[Patrick Heimbach]

Hi Uli,

it might be that you're not using the compiler & libraries
that should be used for that machine.
Usually you'd have the Intel compiler (ifort/ifc).
In case you have this one installed, which version is it?

For version .LE. 7 see e.g. tools/build_options/linux_ia64_efc+mpi_altix
for version .GE. 8 see e.g. tools/build_options/linux_ia64_ifort+mpi_altix_nas

V8 doesn't require/have the PEPDF90 library, V7 (and below) does.
