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

[Ulrike Riemenschneider]

Hi Patrick,

we (well Alistair really) discovered that there is a specific file for 
the GFDL Altrix machine (clever!) that did the trick. So to build the 
Makefile you do the following mamooth command:

%/bin/sh ../../../tools/genmake2 -bash=/bin/sh -mods=../code -mpi 
-of=../../../tools/build_options/linux_ia64_ifort+mpi_altix_gfdl

In case anyone else wants to know!
Thanks,
Uli
