Hartmann" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Cc: freebsd-emulations@freebsd.org Subject: NCAR Graphics and FreeBSD Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Dear Sirs. I just received ncarg-4.2.2 as sourcecode and ncarg-4.2.1 as Linux tarball. We want to use NCAR Graphics libraries for some Fortran projects and Fortran on FreeBSd ist Portland group (PGI) Fortran 90 for Linux, running sucessful under Linux emulation. Because these libraries will be used from PGI Fortran I'm a little bit confused whether it is a good task to compile sources under FreeBSD. On the other hand, I run into minor trouble when trying to install the Linux distribution, because the INSTALL routine messed up some things, so I simply untared the TAR files into the destination and hope now that all the stuff finds its way. Some minor modifications to some specific shell scripts were made already. So, primary question is: installing Linux libraries being used by a Fotran compiler used by Linux emulation seems more reasonable than compiling sources under FreeBSD and then using them by an Linux Fortran compiler. Is this right? Has anybody installed and used successfully NCARG libraries? Thanks in advance, O. Hartmann - MfG O.
