Replace



    character(len=*) :: s



in your code by e.g.



    character(len=20) :: s



Then it will compile work.  This is a general Fortran issue

and has nothing to do with gfortran.



Note: the bugzilla should not be used to learn about Fortran.

Use a textbook about Fortran or the newsgroup "comp.lang.fortran"

which you can access via google groups.
