Sun Compliers and the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM 3.1)
I am attempting to compile and run NCAR's CAM3.1, a global climate model, using the Sun compilers for Linux (we are testing our options for running our models in Linux). At the moment I am using a Sun Ultra 20 w/ amd64 and Fedora 5 installed to test this.
So far, much of the source has built with only minor tinkering in the model's Makefiles--this is really quite exciting, so go Sun! GCC refused to compile the code--apparently it hasn't implemented some feature of f90 modules that the model's code uses.
Unfortunately, it seems that I have run into a bug in Sun's f90: on compiling one of the model's source files I get the following internal error:
f90: Internal Error, code=fw-assert-ir3-817, last src=BalanceCheckMod.F90:264
We have this version of the Sun f90 installed:
sunf90: Sun Fortran 95 8.3 Linux_i386 2007/05/03
I will gladly supply the source file (and its dependencies) if it will help.
