[MITgcm-support] Help with compiling

[Jonathan Whitefield]

I am a first time user, and attempting to compile the model on the
supercomputer here at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. However, I
get a syntax error when it tries to run the byteswap section. One of
our computer guys have looked at it, and
cannot see a problem. I wondered whether you would have any idea what
could be causing this. The error occurs at line 258 in
mds_byteswapi4.f, when it tries to declare arr and i32. Other errors
along the same lines appear in mds_byteswapr8.f (line 258; i64 and i1
not declared), and mds_byteswapr4.f (line 258; truncating hex or oct
data to fit data type; i32 and arr not declared). Below is an excerpt
of the log I made of the build so you could view the errors at the
end.

Hope this makes sense, and that you can help! I'm not that hot on
Fortran, so I apologise if it's something obvious!
