Dale> I ended up making a link to g77 and things work better. I wouldn't do that. Whenever I compiled octave here, ./configure was perfectly capable of working with either f2c or g77, maybe with the help of a --with-f2c argument, but that's about it. If you make a link f77, one program one day will think it's native Fortran which it is not. -- Dirk Eddelb"uttel http://qed.econ.queensu.ca/~edd
