we are using a combination of f2c and a package called f77reorder (available from http://www-hermes.desy.de/ww/f77prob.html) to compile fortran programs initially written on sgi's without problems. you can get both these packages in debian format by anonymous ftp from my computer, caliban.lbl.gov in pub/debian. they require libc6-dev but you can always roll your own if you still have libc5-dev (just get the sources and recompile).
on a sort of related note, does anybody know what happened with f2c for debian. the version available in debian is rather old so i've been rolling my own for a while now. is this an orphaned package (or do people just don't care about fortran any more?)?. --alex-- -- | I believe the moment is at hand when, by a paranoiac and active | | advance of the mind, it will be possible (simultaneously with | | automatism and other passive states) to systematize confusion | | and thus to help to discredit completely the world of reality. | -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
