Thanks Mehmet.
I'd better start promoting the use of g95.
Some people in the list say that f77 users must move on in their lives
and leave f77 behind.
====
Something curious is happening, g95 does not seem to find its library
libg95.
I have to write explicitly:
g95 foo.for -o foo -L/usr/local/lib
to compile the program foo.
/etc/rc.d/ldconfig restart does not fix the problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks for answering,
Eduardo.
