Marek,

Sorry it has taken this long to get back to you.  I was at a conference
until this morning.

So, you have gotten around the link failures you report below?

>Why?

The -lf77compat library is for F90 compiled routines.  By specifying it,
you were in essence forcing yourself to start using the F90 compilre.

I have to believe that there is some difference in how the libraries
are found (pathnames), and on the Sunblade100 they are recognized
and on the other(s) they are not.  Other than that, it is a mystery
to me also.

I am glad that you have a workaround...

Cheers,

Tom
