compiling fortran code of contributed packages using absoft f77 and lnk
Thanks to the hints I got, I could easily solve the problem with Absoft's Fortran compiler f77. The option -N15 tells the compiler to add trailing underscores to any function and subroutine names. The Fortran routines can then be called by R's .Fortran().
I suspect that the absoft compiler do not user "underlines" in the function names. R for MacOS actually add a "_" symbol to fortran functions. This is because Mac f2c uses this convention. Can you please try to do this witht he absoft compiler ? I do not own this compiler but it would be very important to understand what is going on.
