I am just wondering how to solve this installation problem.
As I said, ask your admin to install suitable compilers.
And 'suitable compilers' in this case means to install the GNU compiler collection gcc 4.x.y. Contrary to gcc 3.x.y (which only has a Fortran 77 compiler), gcc 4.x.y has gfortran which is the GNU Fortran 95 compiler. My guess is that your system currently only has gcc 3.x.y and no gcc4 and friends. HTH, Tobias P.S. Be sure to also install the appropriate libgfortran.

It seems that it needs fortran 90 complier. What can I do to solve
this problem? (I am not the administrator, only a user in the linux
system).
Ask for a suitable compiler?

Thank you very much!
