[MITgcm-support] Running MITgcm on Ubuntu.

[Menemenlis, Dimitris (3248)]

Gede, MITgcm will work right out of the box on ubuntu with default compiler.
For example, chec-out a fresh version of MITgcm then

cd MITgcm/verification
./testreport -t lab_sea

By default on ubuntu, the following optfile will be used:
MITgcm/tools/build_options/linux_ia32_gfortran

You can specify a different compiler and/or modify this file
if you are not happy with default compilation options.

And for compilers that do not have that switch (e.g. g77) there a CPP-flag that you can define (DEFINES='-D_BYTESWAPIO' in the build options file).
