Linux-pgi-mpich2-1 build problem

[fabcaiazzo@gmail_com]

Hi,

I am a Ph.D. student at MIT, and I am just starting to work on Climate Modeling codes. I have installed CESM 1.0.1, created and configured a test case with ALL DEAD components. I am using a pgi compiler and mpich 2-1. A problem occurs when I build the case, and the error message is:

I tried to track the scripts back in order to find the error, but without success. The error starts when the code builds up the libraries. My idea is that probably mpich on my server has been compiled with a different FORTRAN compiler than the netcdf on my server. Is that possible that the error lies in this inconsistency? If not, could you please give me some hint where to look for this error?

Thank you very much for your attention and help!

I would start by focussing on this error:

configure: WARNING: mpif90 FAILED TO COMPILE FILENAME EXTENSION f
checking how to get the version output from mpif90... configure: WARNING: compilation failed

You should be able to compile a simple fortran test file with your mpif90. If you have more than one version of mpif90 on your system then make sure your PATH is set correctly to invoke the one that resulted from building mpich with your pgi compiler.

If mpich and netcdf are built with different fortran compilers you will run into trouble. But you haven't gotten that far yet.

Dear Eaton,

thank you very much. I will try to follow your advise, I think I have to gather more information about the paths of my server.

Thank you again!
