Things are churning again and will post them when they reappear. The hope was to run the compaq fortran under the linux emulator, but I had the port bomb out during the libtool build. So there seems to be some hope for the fortran/linux_base combination. The last time I had a fbsd system up here with 4.1 the linux binaries compiled on redhat with the compaq compiler were faster than on linux. This got me the OK to try and make a complete useable system but I was not able to get the compiler to build everything due to some odd path problems in time so back to redhat it went. I know absolutly nothing about fortran, all the theorists here use it so that is the primary concern and what all this hinges on. They are not happy with the problems linux is giving them locking up the consoles all the time and the sticker shock of Tru64 is pretty bad.
