[MITgcm-support] Optim.x build problems under OS X gfortran, gcc and GotoBLAS2 (Patrick Heimbach)

[Chris Wilson]

Thanks Patrick - your suggestion was correct!

I had to simply end the namelists in both data.ctrl and data.optim with '&end' instead of the default '&'.

After that, optim.x complains about a missing input file 'ecco_ctrl_MIT_CE......'.    This is fixed by setting ctrlname='ecco_ctrl' and costname='ecco_cost' in the namelist CTRL_PACKAGES in data.ctrl.

Incidentally, when following the instructions in the manual for tutorial_global_oce_optim, I found that 'costhflux_tut_MITgcm.opt0000' and 'ctrlhflux_tut_MITgcm.opt0000' were not created, but rather 'ecco_ctrl_MIT_CE......'.  Making this swap in the instructions and with a few other minor tweaks allowed me to run the example. However, the adjustment to Q_net at iteration 15 is only qualitatively similar to the example in the manual, even with the changes suggested in the footnote in the manual.  I'll explore this in more detail later.   

Best wishes,

Chris
