Hi Nicolas,

OK, thats it!  Your problem is that old, lousy xmakedepend script that
we use only as a last-ditch resort when nothing else works.  Its failing
on your machine.  So, please create a new optfile by copying the one you
are currently using to a new name: 

  MITgcm/tools/build_options/darwin_ppc_xlf_panther

and then commenting out the two lines:

  # MAKEDEPEND='${TOOLSDIR}/xmakedepend'
  # MAKEDEPEND=makedepend

that specify the MAKEDEPEND program to use.  That should accomplish the
same thing as setting:

  MAKEDEPEND='$(TOOLSDIR)/cyrus-imapd-makedepend/makedepend'

which you could also try.

And if both of those changes do not work, then please send us another
email and we'll try to locate a "make depend" program that will work on
your machine.  But I think its likely that the "cyrus-imapd" version
will work.

Ed

ps - And when you do create a custom optfile that works for you, 
     *PLEASE* email it back to this list and I'll save it in our 
     CVS repository for future reference.  Thanks!!!
