By f77, do you mean g77, i.e. the fortran compiler in the GNU gcc 3.x suite ? If so, that's quite a bummer for scipy. I don't see us removing support for g77 in the short or even mid term (many distributions depend on it, and that's not counting windows where there is still no gcc 4.x official support from MinGW). Do you have a list somewhere of what exactly is required for fwrap from the fortran compiler ? cheers, David _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
