[ncl-install] Fatal intel compiler error for cttdca.f in ncl build, ia64

[Mary Haley]

Hi Daniel,

These kind of internal errors are a usually a problem with the  
compiler, and not with the code. It's pretty obscure about what the  
issue is.

Did you submit this error to the Intel folks as it suggests?

When I get internal errors like this, I will usually look for another  
compiler, like gfortran, just to see if it works:

cd $NCARG/ncarg2d/src/libncarg/conpackt
gfortran -c cttdca.f

If this works, you may want to point this out to the Intel folks.

You can compile NCAR Graphics/NCL with gfortran, and link your own  
codes with ifort, if necessary.

Good luck,

--Mary
