Hi Michael,

The email you sent above appears to contain an incomplete error message
(that is, your copy-and-paste of the error into the email was not
complete).  In any case, a quick google search turns up numerous reports
of errors such as:

xlf: 1501-218 file a.out contains an incorrect file suffix
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/help/MailArchives/netcdfgroup-list/msg00675.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/fms-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00002.html

which appears to mean that you have a file suffix problem.  Could you
please try omitting the "-qsuffix=f=for" and see if that helps?

Ed
