I have older fortran libraries supported by federal people that use the character*(*) input_string for an incoming string, The gcc 3.4.4 supports it but the current (subversion 138025) seems to support character(*).
I was wondering if this is a command line argument to support older fortran code? I changed it to character(*) in the fortran but it now fails on the open and says that the file '' is not available even though the print statement shows that it is there. Before I changed it, the file name would not appear. Now with gdb, I can see the filename but open will not see it.
