PGFTN-S-0034-Syntax error at or near / (test_write.F: 167)

Hello,

While building netcdf-fortran-4.4.2, the following was prompted:

make[2]: Entering directory '/tmp/netcdf-fortran-4.4.2/nf_test'

Any ideas about how to solve this issue?

@waldyd - can you send your config.log (generated when you ran configure) to support-netcdf@unidata.ucar.edu? Please reference this github issue in your email so that I remember what the issue is :).

[opoplawski]

I'm getting the same thing. Lines are:

        err = nf_def_var(ncid, 'abc', NF_INT, 0, (/0/), vid)

and

        err = nf_get_var1_double(ncid, vid, (/0/), var)

I think it is objecting to the (/0/) syntax. It compiles fine with pgf90. I have F77=pgf77, F90=pgf90, and FC=pgfortran.

[opoplawski]

Simple workaround is to set F77 to pgf90. But I think netcdf-fortran should be made to just ignore the F77/F90 variables. Haven't figured that one out yet though.

[opoplawski]

One problem you have is that .F files are treated as F77 files. You should be using .F90/.F95/.F03/.F08 as appropriate.

[WardF]

Is this addressed by #33 ? If so, I'll close out this issue. As soon as I can have the netcdf-c 4.4.0 release available, I intend to have fortran and cxx4 releases in as-close-to-parallel as I can manage. Same day, certainly, unless something goes wrong.

[opoplawski]

No, that's a separate issue.

This issue remains in netcdf-fortran 4.4.5. I got the exact same error while building version 4.4.5 with PGI 18.4. Is the workaround from @opoplawski the best way to build netcdf-fortran for now?

[WardF]

Thanks, this clearly slipped through the cracks. I'll get this addressed for the upcoming release.

[drf5n]

The issue remains in 4.5.2. The F77=F90 workaround still functions.

[edwardhartnett]

The problem is the use of an f90 feature in f77 code. The answer is to introduce a new car, and initialize it properly for f77.

I will see if I can sort this out...
