[Ifeffit] Fwd: Re: Fwd: ifeffit installation in Linux (Fedora 14)

[Guoqiang PAN]

Thanks lot to Matt and Bruce.
PGPLOT installation in Fedora 14 Linux case, can only be succeeded using
g77_gcc_aout. I tried every possible choice for fortran-compiler in my
case,only 
/usr/local/src/pgplot/makemake /usr/local/src/pgplot linux g77_gcc_aout
could work!
Then PGPLOT_install script will use gfortran as default fortran
compiler, it stopped at 

gfortran -c -O2 -fPIC grexec.f
gfortran -c -O2 -fPIC /usr/local/ifeffit-1.2.11c/pgplot/drivers/gidriv.f
/usr/local/ifeffit-1.2.11c/pgplot/drivers/gidriv.f:208.72:

So if I commented out these two lines  (line 219 and 220) in
PGPLOT_install  
    gfortran -v > /dev/null 2>&1
    if [ $? = 0 ] ; then  fcompl='gfortran'; fi
PGPLOT_install will be OK!

As for installation ifeffit, I tried your suggestions 
e.g. (./configure --with-pgplot-link='-L/usr/local/share/ifeffit/pgplot
-lpgplot_iff -lpng -lz -lX11') or ln -s libpgplot.a libpgplot_iff.a
,but not successful. It stopped at

gcc  -g -O2  -o ifftest1  ifftest1.o ../lib/libifeffit.a
-L/usr/local/share/ifeffit/pgplot -lpgplot_iff -lpng -lz -lX11

I think this also due to the gfortan, and I changed the fortran compiler
to g77: 
./configure --with-fortran=g77
It is OK!
Best regards,
Guoqiang
