F77 compiler in mandriva 2008 spring

[alfredoq]

Hi everyone. I want to install F77 compiler in Mandriva 2008 Spring. I cant find the package g77 which is supposed to contain it. Is F77 installed by other package under Mandriva 2008.1,

Thanks in advance for the support,

best regards

I believe you want to install the gcc-gfortran and gcc4.3-gfortran packages from the repos with your gui software installer or urpmi. This will also install the depends they need.

I have gcc-gfortran-4.2.3-6mnb1 and manbo-mandriva-files-gcc-gfortran-4.2.3-6mnb1 isntalled from my repository but after typing f77 it returns "bash: f77: command not found". The installed packages are the correcto ones?

Thanks again

OK, I just checked the repos again and I think you're looking for the gcc3.3-g77 package and its depends. Sorry for the confusion, I don't use f77. :)

The reason being, btw, that g77 / f77 was replaced by gfortran in gcc 4.0. In general you should try to build stuff with gfortran now, and only fall back on the old g77 if you can't.

hi. i also installed gfortran form the package software and when i typed in the consile gfortran, it;s not working...Am i mstakening my bash command? :unsure:

If you installed the gcc-gfortran package then you should have an executable called /usr/bin/gfortran. So if you type

gfortran

in the console, it should find the executable. And it should complain that you haven't given it any input files:

$ gfortran
gfortran: no input files

If this doesn't work for you, then either you haven't got gfortran installed, or you didn't type the "gfortran" command exactly right.

 

To check whether you have got gfortran installed, try this:

rpm -qa | grep fortran

This should list your packages containing the word fortran.

 

If this looks ok, try this:

ls /usr/bin/gf*

This should give you a list of files in your /usr/bin directory which start with "gf". At least two of these should have something to do with fortran.

 

If this looks ok, you can try this:

gfortran --version

And this should tell you the version of gfortran you're running. I assume you know what to do from here on! ;)

seems like my problem wasn;t that complicated :)

i had installed gfortran 4.3 while gcc was 4.2.3.....gcc was working but without gfortran. after uninstalling gfortran 4.3 and installing gfortran 4.2.3 it worked perfectly :)

i mean, well, at least it says about the fortran compiler when i tell him ¨gfortran --version¨ :)
