Hi Alan, I have removed the platform-dependent files: It turns out that the problem was due to the specific distribution of the gfortran compiler I had chosen, not to the version.
(I still need to make a note of that in the release notes). Anyway, I can proceed now with the renovation of the Fortran 95 examples and bindings. Regards, Arjen On 2011-11-11 20:46, Alan W.
