But many of the fortran problems remain until now. Often, only because of that, we have to use gcc instead of clang (something similar to openmp). And this brings new problems with dependencies, compiled under clang and so on ...

After I get a data set together, I'll know if it runs. Maybe this is a bit premature, but the code might be more robust (I'm not the developer/mathematician) using 256-bit floats. Are such things available? Thanks.

Odd. gfortran should be able to find libc. I would need to see how you are building things. > Maybe this is a bit premature, but the code might be more robust (I'm > not the developer/mathematician) using 256-bit floats. Are such things > available? Not as a implicit type. Asumming a i386 or x86_64 class cpu, gfortran will give you real(4), real(8), real(10), and real(16). These are 32, 64, 80, and 128 bit floating point types. You you need more precision, then netlib is your friend. http://www.netlib.org/mpfun/index.html -- Steve
