As far as I know, there is no native equivalent of the F90 compilers requested by hdf5's configure program. This is probably why it is disabled by default. (You can quickly hack graphics/hdf5/Makefile to include the cofigure option '--enable-fortran' to check this.) I know no fortran, so I can't really verify what's f77 versus f90, but I've read comments stating that 'f77 -ff90' should compile f90 programs. (No verification and hacking it directly into the configure program didn't work.) So far, I was unable to find a free source code distribution for a f90 compiler, though I imagine it exists somewhere. There are a number of linux native f90 compilers, but I'm not sure on run-ability or quality of such a thing. (One I found: http://www.intel.com/software/products/compilers/downloads/forlin.htm ) Maybe some of the others here can suggest an appropriate program... (Have homework to do, otherwise, I'd try some more; maybe later...) About your general questions, and all, try the site listed in the pkg-descr: http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/ Hope you get it working, Clayton PS. Please try to break lines at around 80 char.s in the future (standard for this list). _________________________________________________________________ Find high-speed ‘net deals — comparison-shop your local providers here. https://broadband.msn.com
