Hi CMAQ users, I met a problem when tried to compile the CCTM by runing “./bldit\_cctm.csh intel |& tee bldit.log”. The error message is as follows: /CMAQv5.3.1/lib/x86\_64/intel/ioapi/include\_files/STATE3.EXT(174): **error #5082:** Syntax error, found ‘&’ when expecting one of: COMMON / BSTATE3 / CMAQv5.3.1/lib/x86\_64/intel/ioapi/include\_files/STATE3.EXT(175): error #5082: Syntax error, found ‘&’ when expecting one of: // / & P\_ALP3, P\_BET3, P\_GAM3, /CMAQv5.3.1/lib/x86\_64/intel/ioapi/include\_files/STATE3.EXT(176): error #5082: Syntax error, found ‘&’ when expecting one of: // / & XCENT3, YCENT3, XORIG3, YORIG3, XCELL3, YCELL3, & … compilation aborted for pshut3.F (code 1) make: \*\*\* [pshut3.o] Error 1 **ERROR** while running make command I am not allowed to upload my log file since I am a new user. But I can provide more detailed information if needed. I would appreciate if you can provide suggestions on this issue! Thank you in advance, Best, Xiangyu ---

See [https://www.cmascenter.org/ioapi/documentation/all\_versions/html/AVAIL.html#cmaq](https://www.cmascenter.org/ioapi/documentation/all_versions/html/AVAIL.html#cmaq): > According to the ISO Fortran Standard, there are two “source formats” for Fortran source code – the older ( `f77` ) “fixed” format with code in columns 7-72 and continuation markers in column 6, and the ( `f90` ) “free” format, with source in columns 1-132 and ampersand (“&”) for trailing continuation markers, as well as a specification for code which is acceptable to both forms. > > Since it is used by various models that use “free” format, the I/O API carefully follows the Standard in this regard, and uses the ISO-approved “both-form” format for its Fortran `INCLUDE` files. > > Some of the models—in particular, CMAQ and SMOKE however, do not conform to the Standar—instead using a “fixed-132” format. The I/O API Makefile has a way of dealing with this; the commands > > > _cd /ioapi_ > > _make fixed\_src_ > > will create a new directory _ioapi/fixed\_src_ and populate it with copies of the `INCLUDE` files that have been edited to work with the non-Standard “fixed-132” format. You will need to use these `INCLUDE` files with CMAQ and SMOKE. ---

Great! Thanks very much for your help! For those who had similar problem as I had, Here is what I did: copy all the \ ***EXT** files from **[ioapi\_installation\_directory]/ioapi/fixed\_scr** to directory **[ioapi\_installation\_directory]/ioapi**, then re-compile CCTM, then the error is gone.

That will have the effect of breaking any attempt at re-building _libioapi.a_, e.g., after an update (e.g., after _git pull -a_). What you should instead do is to change the build-system (edit the _Makefile_, if nothing else) to put _[ioapi\_installation\_directory]/ioapi/fixed\_src_ on the INCLUDE-path in your compiler-flags. ---

Thanks very much for the suggestions! I am not sure if I understand you correctly, but here is what I did. Instead of copying \*EXT file to **[ioapi\_installation\_directory]/ioapi**, I edited the “ **config\_cmaq.csh** ” file by changing the INCLUDE path from “ **setenv IOAPI\_INCL\_DIR /ioapi-3.2/ioapi** ” to “ **setenv IOAPI\_INCL\_DIR /ioapi-3.2/ioapi/fixed\_src** ”. This also works. But please correct me if I am wrong again. Thank you! 🙂 Best, Xiangyu ---

That’s exactly it! You’ve got it. ---

Thank you so much! 😀
