Syntax Error in module_state_description.f90

This is my first time compiling WRF, and I'm running into an odd issue. When I try to compile a test case, I get the following in my error log:

PGF90-S-0034-Syntax error at or near end of line (../frame/module_state_description.f90 :9)

I believe I'm using the correct compilers. No matter what Linux x86_64 option I select during the configure stage, I can't get past this error. Does anyone have advice?

The recommendation is to switch to the Intel compiler, which hopefully is an option for you.

One of the CAPS users had the same problem on the local supercomputer. Intel runs fine.

Many years ago, with a much older version of WRF, I did timings for Portland and Intel runs.
Intel builds beat Portland builds.
