Hi, Do you use Geant 3.21 at all? If so, you can (in theory, at least) do a test build of a local copy against gfortran by including "gfortran" in the environment variable $DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Please let me know whether the libraries still work properly after doing so, and installing the resulting .debs. I am worried about possible ABI conflicts caused by building geant321 against gfortran while the underlying stack of libraries (down to libblas and liblapack) are still built with g77. It is also not clear to me whether a soname change will be needed. N.B, you may first need to edit /usr/bin/cernlib in order to change "-lg2c" to "-lgfortran" on one line of that script. best regards, -- Kevin B.
