Hi Kyle, Thank you very much, this helped us a lot. I have just another question about gfortran v4.4.6, namely we downloaded the package for RHEL6 and it comes configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-bugurl=http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla --enable-bootstrap --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-checking=release --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-gnu-unique-object --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,obj-c++,java,fortran,ada --enable-java-awt=gtk --disable-dssi --with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0/jre --enable-libgcj-multifile --enable-java-maintainer-mode --with-ecj-jar=/usr/share/java/eclipse-ecj.jar --disable-libjava-multilib --with-ppl --with-cloog --with-tune=generic --with-arch_32=i686 --build=x86_64-redhat-linux The person I am working with is experiencing odd issues with gfortran and I was wondering if you recommend that we rebuild from source, and if so, are there any flags you would suggest? Thanks again for all your help! Kind regards, Caroline -----Original Message----- From: overture-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:overture-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kyle K.
