Re: [ferret_users] Fortran error when using .des file

[Ansley Manke <ansley.b.manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jean,
There have been one or two other reports of recent trouble with descriptor files. It does not happen with all of them; our suite of benchmark tests includes reading from descriptor files and those are running correctly. I'll get some more information from you outside the list and that may help us track down the cause.

Dear all:

 

I have installed ferret v6.62 using the linux 32bit build on ubuntu linux. And I have a g95 fortran installed. Note that g95 is not the gfortran. I tried to install gfortran first, but it's not working. However, when I start to read in the .des file in ferret window, I got the following Fortran error:

 

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Scripts$ ferret -nojnl

NOAA/PMEL TMAP

FERRET v6.62

Linux rh5 (gfortran) 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 - 06/11/10

23-Aug-10 10:08

yes? use wind_1999.des

At line 493 of file gt_get_time_axis.f

Fortran runtime error: End of record

 

And it logged me out of the ferret session. It seems to me that the ferret v6.62 uses gfortran. Note that Ferret works OK if I am not using the .des file. Also that I tested the .des file on another Linux machine, an older version of Redhat linux with the ferret  v 5.81 installed, the des file works fine.

 

Anyone has any ideas about how to make this work?

 

Thanks,

 

Jean
