Re: Intel f90 compiler for Debian.
have u tried using alien?
# alien apackage.rpm
Alien must be run as root or fakeroot.
Alien will produce a debian package that can be install using
#dpkg -i apackage.deb
You may find that there are some library issues ie.
A package look for abc.so.1 while in debian there is abc.so. To fix this
simply create a symlink of abc.so called abc.so.1
