AI Thread Summary
Compiling the GARFIELD gas detector software on Ubuntu 10.4 has proven challenging due to compatibility issues with the gfortran compiler, which replaces the older g77. Users suggest that installing g77 may resolve these issues, as many older codes rely on it. Another potential solution is to use an older operating system or a virtual machine that supports g77. Despite attempts to find helpful resources, users report limited success and information. The consensus is that installing g77 is likely the most effective approach to successfully compile GARFIELD.

Has anybody succeeded in compiling the gas detector software GARFIELD on ubuntu (lucid lynx 10.4) ?

I've been struggling for more than a week now, and didn't get it up and running - mainly due to the gfortran instead of g77 compiler (I think).

Something like above might help... haven't tried on ubuntu, but we've been having to install g77 on some of our machines. The whole gfortran g77 thing has been a head ache for a lot of the older code...

The obvious fall back is to use an older OS that still has g77 (could go virtual machine if you don't have something easily accessible).

edit: Sorry I should have read that link closer, it provides little info. I just meant to say, your most likely solution is going to be to install g77. Not much help I know...
 
Ok, thanks :smile:
 

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
