Which gfortran for Leopard?
Dear Simon, Thank you for your suggestions, which I have just tried. Sadly the error remains the same. The problem seems to be that for some reason "gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar.gz" does not have a "/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.2.1/x86_64" directory containing libgfortranbegin.a. For this reason the 64 bit version of libgfortranbegin.a is not installed in the corresponding directory x86_64 which contains only libgcc.a etc. You can see this by double-clicking on "gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar.gz" when located in some directory. In contrast, "gfortran-4.2.3.dmg" did install libgfortranbegin.a in the "/usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.2.1/x86_64" directory. Could you please check or tell me what the reason might be? I have installed it using: $ gunzip gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar.gz $ sudo tar -xvf gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar -C / Best regards Christian

Dear Kasper,
You are right. Since ROOT supports the CC, CXX, F77 and LD flags I did:
./configure macosx64 --with-cxx="/usr/bin/g++-4.2 -arch x86_64" --with-f77="/usr/bin/gfortran-4.2 -arch x86_64"
You don't really need the override - it works without and they add -m64 anyway so the -arch gets essentially ignored.
The error was still the same:
i686-apple-darwin9-g++-4.2.1: libgfortran.dylib: No such file or directory
However, when I replaced in the Makefile.macosx64:
F77LIBS := $(shell $(F77) -m64 -print-file-name=libgfortran.dylib)
F77LIBS += $(shell $(F77) -m64 -print-file-name=libgfortranbegin.a)
with:
F77LIBS := $(shell $(F77) -m64 -print-file-name=libgfortranbegin.a)
You found the right spot but your fix is wrong - just remove the two lines, they are superfluous and only cause trouble.
the error disappeared, and I could finish the compilation.
However, now I got a link-error:
ld warning: in /usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.2.1/libgfortranbegin.a, file is not of required architecture
Undefined symbols:
"_main", referenced from:
start in crt1.10.5.o
Your'e getting the 32-bit version (of the wrong file - see above). It should really be ../4.2.1/x86_64/lib...
I am not sure what this error means since Makefile.macosx64 contains:
F77FLAGS = -m64 -std=legacy
Could it be that libgfortranbegin.a can only be used for 32bit compilation?
No, you're picking the wrong one - there is one for each architecture.
Furthermore, I still have the question (and hopefully Simon will answer it):
Why does gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar.gz not contain any libgfortran.dylib files?
Because it's using a static library.
Interestingly, when googling "/usr/lib/libgfortran.dylib" I get the answer that NO results were found, while googling "/usr/local/lib/libgfortran.dylib" gives many results. Thus it seems that there will never be any libgfortran.dylib in "/usr/lib/"!?
Nope - OS X has no Fortran by default. Cheers, Simon
I must admit that I do not understand this issue.
Best regards

Dear Kasper,
Thank you for your suggestion, I did indeed use gcc 4.0.
Since gcc_select does no longer exist on Leopard I had to do:
cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s gcc-4.2 gcc
sudo ln -s g++-4.2 g++
sudo ln -s gcov-4.2 gcov
I am not sure this is advisable in general. When I compile stuff with gcc-4.2 I usually explicitly set
CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2
when I run configure. For example, my entire configure line for R on my macbook is
../${SRCDIR}/configure SHELL='/bin/bash' \
CC="/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -arch x86_64 -std=gnu99" \
CFLAGS="-g -O2 -std=gnu99 -march=nocona" \
CXX="/usr/bin/g++-4.2 -arch x86_64" \
CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -march=nocona" \
OBJC="/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -arch x86_64" \
F77="/usr/bin/gfortran-4.2 -arch x86_64" \
FFLAGS="-g -O2 -march=nocona" \
FC="/usr/bin/gfortran-4.2 -arch x86_64" \
FCFLAGS="-g -O2 -march=nocona" \
--x-includes=/usr/X11/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11/lib \
--with-system-zlib \
--with-blas='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack
Of course this requires that ROOT uses the CC/CFLAGS macros, but that should be pretty standard if it uses autoconf.
Sadly, compiling ROOT resulted still in the same error:
i686-apple-darwin9-g++-4.2.1: libgfortran.dylib: No such file or directory
When I check the location for gfortran-4.2.3.dmg I get:
$ cd /usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.2.3/../../../x86_64
$ ls -al
total 32
drwxrwxr-x 6 root wheel 204 Jan 21 20:26 .

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 23 Jan 21 20:26 libgfortran.dylib -> libgfortran.2.0.0.dylib
This means that /usr/local/bin does contain libgfortran.dylib whereas /usr/bin does not contain any of these files or links.
Does this mean that gfortran-4.2.3.dmg does contain these file for libgfortran.dylib while gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar.gz does not contain these files?
How do I get libgfortran.dylib?
Simon might be able to answer this better, but the general idea is that the
gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar.gz
installs into /usr/bin
gfortran-4.2.3.dmg
installs into /usr/local/bin. There is some logic here, the way I think about it is that the former is a direct extension of the Apple build.
I would start from scratch, which means remove all traces of both gfortrans, install the 5564-tarball and then set the various macros as I have set it above for R (your exact values may of course be different depending on what machine etc. you are using).

BTW, I must apologize to Simon. On his website he lists the commands how to install gfortran.tar.gz, but in the Tiger section, so I did miss it. Nevertheless it would still be helpful for Mac users to know how to uninstall it:
$ tar -tf gfortran.tar | sort -r | (cd /; xargs -p -n 1 rm -d)

Remember that Apple has two version of GCC on Leopard: 4.0 and 4.2. You are using 4.0, you might want to switch to 4.2. In Tiger there used to be gcc_select (or select_gcc) that let you choose between 3.x and 4.0, I don't remember if that is still around on Leopard.
The error seems to indicate that you need 4.2 in order to use Simon's gfortran.

Dear Simon, Thank you for this information. Now I have installed gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar.gz on Leopard and tried to compile ROOT again, but this time I got the following error: g++ -dynamiclib -single_module -undefined dynamic_lookup -install_name @rpath/libminicern.so -O2 -m64 -o lib/libminicern.so misc/minicern/src/cernlib.o -ldl misc/minicern/src/hbook.o misc/minicern/src/kernlib.o misc/minicern/src/zebra.o libgfortran.dylib /usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.2.1/libgfortranbegin.a i686-apple-darwin9-g++-4.0.1: libgfortran.dylib: No such file or directory I know that this is not necessarily an R-related question but I would greatly appreciate your help if possible (at least it is a Mac- and somehow a BioC-related question). When I have tried to compile ROOT with gfortran-4.2.3.dmg I got the following error: gfortran -O2 -m64 -o bin/g2root main/src/g2root.o -Llib lib/libminicern.so /usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.2.3/../../../x86_64/libgfortran.dylib /usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.2.3/x86_64/libgfortranbegin.a -lm -Wl,-rpath, at loader_path/../lib -pthread -ldl ld: -rpath can only be used when targeting Mac OS X 10.5 or later As you can see gfortran-4.2.3 could find libgfortran.dylib at: /usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.2.3/../../../x86_64/libgfortran.dylib while gfortran-4.2.4 could not find libgfortran.dylib. Thus maybe I did make a mistake when installing gfortran-4.2.4. Here is what I did: $ gunzip gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar.gz $ sudo tar -xvf gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar -C / $ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gfortran-4.2 /usr/bin/gfortran Do you know what I need to do so that libgfortran.dylib can be found? P.S.:Since many Mac users are no Unix experts please allow me to suggest to place on your website the commands to install/uninstall gfortran. I have found the following website, which told me how to install gfortran and how I could uninstall it: http://www.webmo.net/support/fortran_osx.html Thank you in advance.

Dear Simon,
One more question:
I have just unzipped gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar.gz. The version gives:
Using built-in specs.
Target: i686-apple-darwin9
Configured with: /Builds/gcc/gcc_42-5564/build/obj/src/configure --disable-checking --enable-werror --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-languages=c,objc,c++,obj-c++,fortran --program-transform-name=/^[cg][^.-]*$/s/$/-4.2/ --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.0.0 --with-slibdir=/usr/lib --build=i686-apple-darwin9 --host=i686-apple-darwin9 --target=i686-apple-darwin9
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5564)
This means that this version seems to be older than the one I am using now?
No, that is GNU Fortran 4.2.4 that I was referring to. The "gcc version 4.2.1" comes from Apple's Xcode 3.1 gcc-4.2 branch since that is what they define - it just adds Fortran support to the existing gcc 4.2.1 branch of Apple that you installed as Xcode. However, the Fortran part is merged from the GNU Fortran 4.2.4 release - hence I refer to it as 4.2.4.
Cheers,
Simon

Dear all, I have the following problem: My Bioconductor package xps requires both R and ROOT, whereby I compile ROOT usually from source. Until now this has not been a problem since I do all my development on Tiger. However, now I wanted to compile ROOT on Leopard but failed since my gfortran compiler is too old, see: http://root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9721&sid=003b01ddb64f33dbe0c74651ee089c34 To solve the problem I should upgrade to the latest version coming with gcc-4.4 in Fink.
I would advise against that - using gcc from Fink usually calls for a disaster. The real solution is to fix their flags, but that's another story ...
Thus my question is:
Can I also use this version for R or do I need to use the version downloaded from att?
I would recommend using the Leopard gfortran 4.2.4 for Xcode 3.1.x from the Mac devel page http://r.research.att.com/tools/ which I assume is what you meant by the latter. Cheers, Simon
