MCT 2.6 issue

[jcharris]

When ROMS was still using MCT version 2.2, I was able to use it without issue. When / if I update my distribution to the new version using MCT 2.6, the same commands (on a 2 x 2.93 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon system with OS X 10.5.8 using Absoft Pro Fortran 10.2.1), though, I get an error.

[I sent a similar message to the contact info on the MCT website, but have not heard anything back after a week or so, so I thought I might post here as well in hopes someone may have seen this problem before. If there is a more appropriate place to ask this question, please let me know.]

Previously (MCT 2.2.0; ROMS revision 399), I was able to compile MCT using:

FC=mpif90 CC=mpicc FCFLAGS='-N11 -YEXT_NAMES=LCS -YEXT_SFX=_ -YCFRL=1 -w' ./configure
make
sudo make install

whereas now the same commands (MCT 2.6.0; ROMS revision 448) end with the error:

.
.
.
mpif90 -c -DSYSDARWIN -DCPRABSOFT -O2 -N11 -YEXT_NAMES=LCS -YEXT_SFX=_
-YCFRL=1 -w -p/Users/jcharris/DrWho/trunk/Lib/MCT/mpeu m_Accumulator.F90
Signal: Bus error in IR->WHIRL Conversion phase.
"m_Accumulator.F90": Error: Signal Bus error in phase IR->WHIRL Conversion
-- processing aborted
atmod failed.
make[1]: *** [m_Accumulator.o] Error 1
make: *** [subdirs] Error 2

If I do not use the wrapper mpif90 directly, but instead use:

MPILIBS='-lmpichf90 -lpmpich -lmpich' INCLUDEPATH='-I/usr/local/include' FC=f90 CC=cc CFLAGS='-DpgiFortran' FCFLAGS='-YEXT_NAMES=LCS -s -YEXT_SFX=_' ./configure

the error becomes:

cf90-196 af90fe: INTERNAL INITAVS_, File = m_Accumulator.F90, Line = 898,
Column = 1
Function srch_sym_tbl was called with a token whose length exceeds 32
characters.
f90fe failed.
make[1]: *** [m_Accumulator.o] Error 1
make: *** [subdirs] Error 2

Is anyone familiar with what might be causing this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

not sure.
but you should be able to use the older version of MCT.

Thanks. If it is of interest to anyone, I have learned that there is an obscure Absoft compiler bug ("with a variable length character return for a used module procedure when the size is determined by nested structures") which is the issue in this case.

I've successfully install both MCT 2.2 and 2.6 by gfortran(/pgi/ifort) on UBUNTU x64. But I've just set

FC = gfortran (/pgf90/ifort).

the makefile will automatically find mpif90
