Hi Eli,

The error above indicates that mpi_real8 is undefined.  Its supposed to
be defined within the MPI headers -- specifically, within the mpif.h
file which is included in the model in various places using:

  #include "mpif.h"

So, I think the failure is that your CPP is not finding the mpif.h file.
If thats the problem (and it probably is), then you can fix it by adding
something similar to:

  INCLUDES='-I/opt/mpt/1.0-0/include/'
  INCLUDEDIRS='/opt/mpt/1.0-0/include/'

to your optfile so that CPP knows where to find the mpif.h file.
