Hi,
I am facing problem in reading a binary file (Thermodynamic properties of water, created in 2001, I don't know how it is created) through gfortran compiler. The same is working fine in Windows with Intel Fortran Compiler. The typical code is mentioned below. The gfortran is opening the file, but exiting with the end of the file error. If anyone has similar experience, kindly share with me. Thank you-

I gather the source is a text file transferred from Windows. Have you converted the line endings yet?

And if it is reading a data file that is (1) a text file and (2) has been transferred from Windows, convert that file also, in the same way.

If the data file is binary, I hope it wasn't transferred from Windows to Linux in any way other than as a binary file (Windows distinguishes between text and binary). If it was transferred in one of several ways that treat it as text, this may have corrupted it. A way to verify the correctness of the data file is to get an MD5 checksum on the Windows platform for this file, and compare that with a Linux md5sum result.

If the checksums don't agree, transfer the file again, this time more carefully.
