Subject: g77 and gcc-2.7.2.1

I have updated my Linux Version from buzz to rex. During this update
the GNU-C compiler Release 2.7.2 was replaced by Version 2.7.2.1.

After this I have detected, that the Fortran Compiler g77 is not 
working longer since it was based on 2.7.2. I have than copied all
the stuff from the 2.7.2 Version subdirectory to 2.7.2.1. Now 
the compiler was working but only half. As son as I try to link an
absolute module it crashes. I think this is because of some internal
incompatibility between 2.7.2 and 2.7.2.1.

Now I am searching for a g77 implementation which is working with 
gcc-2.7.2.1 (from current rex release). I would be happy if someone could
point me to the right link.

Thanks a lot in advance

Hartmut

Doing that could lead to dpkg/packaging inconsistencies in the future.
Compiling you fortran files with 'gcc -c -V 2.7.2' should work.

I don't know.  Can you make a small test case?

Hello David,
Thanks for your help but,...

This works for compilation but during the link step I get the message
  ld: cannot open -lgcc: No such file or directory
so I have to either opy the required libs from 2.7.2.1 to 2.7.2 or
reverse. I have decided to copy it from 2.7.2 to 2.7.2.1, and yes as soon
as a g77 Version for 2.7.2.1 is available I have to remove them before
installation.
