Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for all the system information!  You're running on a Mac and
thats fine -- we have a few active MITgcm-on-Mac users/developers.

Unfortunately, I can't determine exactly whats causing that error
message.  I think it may be the "make" program or the Makefile syntax
but I'm just not sure.  Is there any way that I could get an account on
your Mac to test it?  Its probably something that can be diagnosed and
fixed in less than an hour if we have access.

And if I can't have an account, please try the following:

  1) Are you using Gnu make or "gmake"?  We strongly recommend Gnu 
       make or gmake since its syntax is well-understood.

  2) Please verify that the optfile has the right settings for 
       your Fortran compiler, libs, etc.

  3) Please email us a copy of your Makefile.

Ed
