This sounds similar to another experience that I've had recently, although
for me it's a bit hearsay. I was working with Dan Roe on something that
involved some relatively complex namelist input -- specifically a 1000x1000
2-D array. The syntax I used was something like:
array(1,:) = 1,2,3,4,5,
array(2,:) = 11,12,13,14,15,
... etc.
So that it could be decomposed into an array of arrays. This type of input
worked exactly as expected on all of my systems (Ubuntu and Mac) with
MacPorts compilers and the built-in Intel and GNU compilers on the Linux
box (nothing I ever actually built myself). (And MacPorts built the GNU
compiler using the Xcode gcc version 4.2.1). For Dan, however, I recall
that his version failed to read that notation, and he had to be explicit
about it, i.e.
array(1,1) = 1, array(1,2) = 2, ... etc.
I think I tried the same compiler version he had, too, with the only
difference being how we obtained our respective compilers, so my experience
suggests that the same compiler can read namelists differently depending on
how those compilers were built.
Hopefully this was somewhat helpful,
All the best,
Jason
