Are you using the netcdf-enabled version of CCM3.6.6 from the NCAR ftp site
(ftp.ucar.edu, ccm/ccm3.10.11.brnchT.366physics.4.tar.gz)? If not I would
recommend starting there since the message-passing in that code is much
improved over the previous version of the CCM3.6.6 model.

That code runs here at NCAR on a beowulf linux cluster using pgf90 with no
problems. The underlying mpi library is mpich. I don't know about the -Mmpi
flag to pgif90, what it does or if it is applicable to the CCM code. From
the documentation it sounds like it only applies to hpf not pgf90.

Hope this helps.
