In Reply to: [gentoo-science] Fortran90 codes by Donnie Berkholz
1 Two comments/questions on this issue:
2 1) I have successfully installed the g95 compiler (no ebuild), and once configured properly, emerge does end up using it. I installed Octave, and autoconfig found and apparently used g95. Might that be a good, free (as in speech) alternative to ifc?
3 2) Does anyone know what the status is for gcc-4, with support for Fortran 90/95?
4
5 I'm not using Fortran much these days, but I can give a shot at writing an ebuild for g95 and submit a bug.

7 Cheers,

12 things go. I know we need a tc-getF77() and tc-getF90(), not sure what
13 other needs we have -- need to research the bugs a bit.

15 Current codes for quantum chemistry are on my overlay:
16 http://dev.gentoo.org/~spyderous/overlay/sci-chemistry/ -- the new ones
17 are abinit, psi and espresso. Others showing up soon will be schakal,
18 gabedit, yaehmop.

20 The ccp4/coot ebuilds are for crystallography and aren't yet working
21 well enough for portage, but they work OK for local use ( coot 0.1 is
22 broken, ccp4 has rpath issues ).
23
24 Espresso brings up an interesting question -- should we be able to add
25 packages that do not compile at all with gcc but do with ifc?

27 Thanks,
