I have a Fortran program that is vital to my work and I would like to use g77, as this can provide better optimization. I read the documentation for g77 and it says that gcc must be patched. My question is, what problems might I run into when I update the FreeBSD source and execute 'make world'? Will g77 mess up 'make world' or vice-versa? I looked at the g77 port but got a message that it was broken because gcc needed to be upgraded. The gcc version in 'current' is fine but the port seems to be set to patch gcc-2.6.3, so I am not sure how to proceed with the port. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- Glenn Johnson USDA-ARS-SRRC gjohnson@nola.srrc.usda.gov
