[ferret_users] FERRET compilation on Debian 7

[Lluis.Fita@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Dear Ferret users,

I'm trying to compile FERRET from the sources on a Debian 7 machine.

$ uname -a
Linux foudre 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.54-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=gcc
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/lto-wrapper
Target: x86_64-linux-gnu
Configured with: ../src/configure -v --with-pkgversion='Debian 4.7.2-5'

Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.7.2 (Debian 4.7.2-5)
$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

On my 'site_specific.mk', I'm using my own locally compiled netcdf and hdf
libraries and the:
 BUILDTYPE      = x86_64-linux

I installed different packages and defined CPP_X11 variable during the
process (I might have some other useful packages from other
installations):
  $ apt-get install libx11-dev
  $ apt-get install libxmu-dev
  $ export CPP_X11=/usr/include/X11

Up to now fine, but, when I am running make:
$ make
(...)

                                    1
Error: COMMON block 'ferret_ef_mem_subsc' at (1) can not have the EXTERNAL
attribute

It looks like that there are some issues on the Fortran code than the gcc
4.7.2 can not understand? I look on the code at line #208 and such line of
code is not there.

Thank you very much for our help,

Lluís
