INSTALL includes a couple of configure settings that worked for us. Phil Austin <address@hidden> reported that the following worked on his Debian 1.3 Linux system with g77: $ uname -a Linux curlew 2.0.27 #2 Tue May 6 17:57:24 PDT 1997 i686 CPPFLAGS='-Df2cFortran -DNDEBUG' CC=/usr/bin/cc # version 2.7.2.1-4 CFLAGS=-O FC=g77 # version 0.5.19.1-1 FFLAGS=-O CXX=/usr/bin/c++ Jan Polcher reported that he added "-ff2c" to his FFLAGS option and it worked. So all I can recommend is that you try one of these alternatives. Please let us know the details if you find a combination that works. --Russ _____________________________________________________________________ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu
