Hi Jeff,

Sorry for the late reply!

It depends on the OS version.  In older distributions of Linux, g77 was the
Fortran compiler of choice.  In the newest distributions, gfortran is the
compiler of choice since support for g77 has pretty much gone away.

I would assume that CentOS would have complete support for g77 since it is
an "older" distribution of Linux (RedHat Enterprise 5, I believe).  Can
you give me a snippit of the error messages you are seeing so I can understand
what may be happening on your system?

> Have you had a chance to build a box there to test our feed?

No, sorry.  I have been trying to track down a bug in McIDAS that prevents
decoding of GRIB2 messages for v2008 build in 64-bit mode on Solaris x86 10
using vendor compilers (the code works fine when build/run under 64-bit
Fedora 8 Linux; go figure).

I will try to get to this on Monday.

Cheers,

Tom
