Hello everyone.

I want to say I'm a totally new to Linux and in fact I only decided to try out Linux as I'm in biochemistry and a program I want to use it necessitates me having linux (although the benefits of Kubuntu seem very numerous after I installed it and hopefully the necessary compilers).

Anyway, my attempts to install and compile the program are failures to this point. According to the README section, I need to alter the Makefiles to reflect my compiler, and there is a Makefile present Makefile_gnu which is for linux which uses the g77 compiler (which should be installed now).

When I run the Install.com I get the following errors (bolded):

To run the programs in future place these 2 commands in your log file:
setenv DELDIR /home/gijoe/Downloads/qnifft
set path=( $path /home/gijoe/Downloads/qnifft/bin )

I guess I'm not sure why it says it cannot find the file if in fact I can see a Makefile_gnu in the directory listed.

Thanks for any help you might have.

Open Install.com in your favorite editor. Find this line (should be line 28) and change the single quotes to double quotes.Also, the -n option to make means "dry run". If you want to actually build the application, you'll need to remove the -n also. So the line should look like It should build after these changes.

Also, g77 has been replaced by gfortran in newer versions (4.1.X and 4.2.X) of gcc. I didn't try to build it with gfortran so it might work.

Welcome to Linux Questions.

It works fine with " g77 -> /usr/bin/g77-3.3.6* "

And of course the edited Makefile from weibullguy.

....

Hey guys,

Thanks for the help it is most appreciated.

So I tried the modified makefile, and I tried with compiler g77 and g77-3.4 (which I have via the package manager on Kubuntu) and it did seem to compile the programs.

However, in the course of compiling, it seemed that it was ignoring MANY variables, and it seemed to be happening along the way, and here is the sample of what was popping up along the way.

This repeated in various sections, ignoraing many of the same variables. It seems that it did finish compiling, but when I ran the programs the calculations came back from very different answers than I had received previously using the program on another computer. I'm wondering if the compilers are ignoring critical variables?

Again thanks for the help so far as at least now its doing something!

Well, as an update.

Apparently the errors were a red herring.

Program is now compiled and functioning.

They're not errors, they're warnings. If they had been errors, the make would have exited. The warning you posted are telling you that the variables were defined, but never used. No biggie, unless they were meant to be used.
