compiling error on mod_netcdf.f90

I'm installing roms_395.While compiling "mod_netcdf.f90" I get the following messages:

PGF90/any Linux/x86 5.1-6: compilation aborted

Could someone please help me

You might want to check if you have a newer PGI version available to you. I think you're using version 5.1-6 from 2004 ("PGF90/any Linux/x86 5.1-6: compilation aborted"). PGI is now at version 9; perhaps 5.1 doesn't handle the INTERFACE block correctly.

However, it might be helpful if you attached your mod_netcdf.f90 (from your Build directory) file so we can see if this is corrupted somehow?

[isabelmonteiro]

I attached my mod_netcdf.f90 file (from my Build directory). Anyway do you think that I could use a former version of mod_netcdf.f90 which my PGI could handle?

In the installation of this latest version of ROMS, previous to find this mod_netcdf.f90 error, I have done some changes on my Linux-pgi.mk file
instead of
FFLAGS += -O3 -tp k8-64
I do
FFLAGS += -O3 -tp p7

[robertson]

What version of NetCDF did you compile with this version of the PGI compiler and what flags did you use? I am unable to build NetCDF-3.6.3 with PGI 5.1-6 and a simple google search reveals notes on building NetCDF-3.5.1 with the 5.1 compiler but no newer versions of NetCDF.

The PGI 5.1 compiler had a lot of bugs. If you do not have access to a newer version of PGI, perhaps you should try using a free compiler like g95 to compile NetCDF and ROMS.

I followed your suggestion and I’m working now in a machine with a more recent PGI compiler, ROMS installation was straightforward.

Thank you
