I just Installed the Fortran77 package from CD#2 and I dont know where the package is.
It asked me for CD2 and the Package was installed successfully, but the question is I cant find where it installed it to.
I went to Xterm, and I typed g77 but no directory. Where could this be, that my question. Im tring to figure out where this package went. Its seems a mystery.
I will try Find Filea maybe it will pop up there, but I doubt it.
Also, the find utility is nice. In KDE, it's kfind.
The find program is also probably (distribution-specific)
in your Home/Start/Launch menu at the very bottom
left corner.
Interesting ... what exactly happens if you try to run g77 from the command line (post the exact messages you get)? It looks like it's there, but I'm wondering why it's linked to something in /etc/alternatives...
Oh, well in that case, it's all OK then. You need to pass g77 a Fortran source file for it to compile or it will complain in the manner you describe. Unix commands aren'tt known for their verbose errors messages .
