have u tried using alien? # alien apackage.rpm Alien must be run as root or fakeroot.
Alien will produce a debian package that can be install using #dpkg -i apackage.deb You may find that there are some library issues ie. A package look for abc.so.1 while in debian there is abc.so. To fix this simply create a symlink of abc.so called abc.so.1 Cheers Paul On Fri, 2003-11-28 at 04:02, alberto wrote: > Hi all, > > Intel has a powerful f90 compiler, the only one freely available on > the market, as far as I know, which runs under Linux.
