[MITgcm-support] code compilation problem

[Holly Dail]

Robert -

Presumably you are experimenting with one of the example codes?  You can follow the READMEs for the example you are trying to build.  For example, if you were trying to build
MITgcm/verification/tutorial_global_oce_latlon

you would cd to the build directory under that example, and run something like:

../../../tools/genmake2 -mods ../code -of ../../../tools/build_options/linux_ia64_g77

This build file assumes you have g77 available, though your output suggests you have only f95 and mpif77.  Do you know if you have other compilers available on your system?  If not, you can start with one of the available build option files, like the one above, and modify it for your specific compilers.
