[MITgcm-support] Gsl_ieee_env.c error

[Martin Losch]

Hi Kendall,

did you find a solution?

This is likely a compiler or platform specific problem. Please try to compile a simple "hello world” problem and see if that works.

I googled the error message and found a few things, e.g. this: <https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/cdiag912>
