Dear Sirs. A couple of days ago I did some trials on Portland Group Compilers to run on a FreeBSD 4.1.1 box under Linux emulation. While Lahey/Fujitsu and NAGWare Fortran 95 Compilers compiled and produced a working binary, Portland Group F90 did not. It compiled the sources well, but the image it created dumped immediately a core after calling it. Now I tried the following scenario. I installed the stuff on a Linux box and compiled the same sources again. The I tested the image and saw its running well under Linux. Then I put this image onto our FreeBSD box and started it - and it worked well! So, now I'm a little bit confused. Why is the emulator not able to let the PGI compiler compile this sources into a working image? Well, prior to this experience I thought the PGI is not capable to run on FreeBSD, but now I'm still in hope to get a working PGI installation. Is this phenomenon typicall for misconfigurations? Another questions regards to Linux vs. FreeBSD and using Fortran compilers. As we can see, many solutions for Fortran 90,95 and HPF are offered for Linux, but really less for FreeBSD (only NAGWare, but this type of compiler is not of our focus). Makes it any kind of sense to use a compiler under Linux emulation or would it be a better task to swap over from FBSD to Linux? This is a really seroius question! Many people of my institute work on Linux but I still use FreeBSD for our backbone servers. Now we want to built up some kind of number cruncher for some applications in environtmental modelling and we need fast Fortran code. Does anybody has any kind of idea and suggestions? I would appreciate anything, any hint, tip, aspect of discussion etc. Thanks in advance, Oliver - MfG O.
