Re: Ubuntu 8.10 - missing g77

Hi

FLUKA doesn't work with gfortran. First of all it would require
recompiling the whole code (object files produced by g77 and gfortran are
mutually incompatible), and anyway at least until my latest test gfortran
was still miscompiling parts of the code. I didn't have time to pinpoint
which routine(s) and why, also because a previous interaction two years
ago with the gfortran developers was a nightmare to say the least...

So I do not expect FLUKA running on gfortran on a short term
basis (medium term yes), while on a short term there will be
a version running on g95 (look at www.g95.org) a fork of gfortran.

          Ciao
