    <p>Hi All,</p>
    <p>I am trying to build tutorial_barotropic_gyre on behalf of a
      researcher.  I have had no previous experience with MITgcm so
      thought to build the tutorial following the documentation here
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://mitgcm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/getting_started.html#where-to-find-information">https://mitgcm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/getting_started.html#where-to-find-information</a>.
      <br>
    </p>
    <p>Having cloned MITgcm I attempted to build
      tutorial_barotropic_gyre with no modifications.  The genmake2 and
      make depend completed without errors.</p>
    <p>The make aborts when compiling mds_reclen.f with the following:</p>
    <p><nobr>cat mds_reclen.F |  cpp -traditional -P -DHAVE_SYSTEM
        -DHAVE_FDATE -DHAVE_ETIME_FCT -DHAVE_CLOC -DHAVE_SETRLSTK
        -DHAVE_SIGREG -DHAVE_STAT -DHAVE_FLUSH  -I.  |
        ../../../tools/set64bitConst.sh  > mds_reclen.f</nobr><nobr><br>
      </nobr><nobr>ifort   -c mds_reclen.f</nobr><nobr><br>
      </nobr><nobr>mds_reclen.f(618): error #6404: This name does not
        have a type, and must have an explicit type.   [WORDLENGTH]</nobr><nobr><br>
      </nobr><nobr>       MDS_RECLEN = nnn*WORDLENGTH</nobr><nobr><br>
      </nobr><nobr>------------------------^</nobr><nobr><br>
      </nobr><nobr>compilation aborted for mds_reclen.f (code 1)</nobr><nobr><br>
      </nobr><nobr>make[1]: *** [mds_reclen.o] Error 1</nobr><nobr><br>
      </nobr><nobr>make[1]: Leaving directory

      </nobr><nobr>make: *** [fwd_exe_target] Error 2</nobr><br>
    </p>
    <p>Any suggestions welcome.</p>
    <p>Thank you.</p>
    <p>Cheers.<br>
