(OT) make: g77: Command not found

ag88 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello everyone. I am encountering a problem while trying to install pftools (http://web.expasy.org/pftools/). According to the README file when i type

make all
[download]

I get the following error

g77 -O2 -init-local-zero -fno-automatic io.o gtop.f -o gtop 
make: g77: Command not found
make: *** [gtop] Error 127
[download]

I checked in yast -> software management -> searching fortran and get the following ticked (which means installed i guess)

gcc-fortran
gcc-fortran 32bit
gcc-33fortran
gcc-33fortran -32bit
gcc46-fortran
gcc46-fortran-32bit
libg2c33
libg2c33-32bit
libgfortran46
libgfortran46 32bit
libquadmath46
libquadmath46 32bit
[download]

gfortran is installed. but still am getting the above error. Can anyone please help me to sort out the erreor in order to install pftools? :(

gfortran is installed. but still am getting the above error "gfortran" is not "g77" and you need to work around the mistaken assumption that your fortran compiler is called "g77". Cheers, Rob	[reply]

I have installed g77. "which g77" now gives `"usr/local/bin/g77"` [download] but when i try to "make all" again its giving error `g77 -O2 -init-local-zero -fno-automatic io.o gtop.f -o gtop /usr/local/bin/g77: /usr/local/bin/g77: cannot execute binary file make: * [gtop] Error 126` [download] I tried running it with sudo as well. The error was `g77 -O2 -init-local-zero -fno-automatic io.o gtop.f -o gtop f951: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-init-local-zero’ make: * [gtop] Error 1` [download] Can anyone please help me to sort it out please? Am just stuck at this point as am also new to opensuse/linux.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I have installed g77 Hmmm ... I would probably have gone the other way and tried to make it work with gfortran. I'll happily perform dreadful hacks, and the first thing I would've tried is to make a copy of "gfortran" named "g77" and seen how that went. Does this link help ? Cheers, Rob	[reply]

$PATH is path , and if software is marked as installed, but its not in your $path, adjust your $path but if software is in your $path, but the required program isn't there, install the missing packages of software see also Where should I post X?	[reply]
