In summary, the conversation discusses the challenges of compiling the gas detector software, GARFIELD, on Ubuntu 10.4. The use of gfortran instead of g77 compiler is causing difficulties and some suggest using an older OS or installing g77 as a solution. However, the provided link does not provide much information on the topic.

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...
