Jerry, Here are the two R packages. Thanks. Rick
All the fortran codes compile OK so the problem is invoking the compiler you want. One approach which is a work around is to rename the gfortran executable to somthing else like gfortran-save and create a link called gfortran that points to g77. That might work, but its a hack. From looking at these it appears that they are intended to be built from the R environment. Unfortunately I am not an R user and I am not familiar with it. What is the usual build process you go through? Jerry
I was able to install rmutil by using g77. During installation, R prints out the gfortran command with parameters. I ran this part separately using g77 in place of gfortran. I could have used a link to g77 (if I removed gfortran) but when I did this, there was a problem with the "mtune=pentium4" argument so I removed this argument. Then the various fortran programs compiled. I then use R to install the package and (miracuously) R installed the package. (It seems R skipped trying to compile the fortan code once the executables were already created and available - so R was able to put the created functions into the library tree so they could be used in an R session.) This is all very kludgy - I would prefer to go back to a few days ago without gfortran and R packages installed without any problems. Rick B.
