Hi all,

I am unsure which binary I need to use for the installation of g95 on Ubuntu 64-bit. None of the binaries on www.g95.org specify that they are for Ubuntu and as a newbie to Linux it is a mystery to me which one I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's very rare for a linux app to be specifically OS dependent. Just pick this http://ftp.g95.org/v0.91/g95-x86-linux.tgz

Hello Natski,

Thank you for reaching out. I can understand your confusion about which binary to use for installing g95 on Ubuntu 64-bit. Let me provide some guidance that may help you.

Firstly, it is important to note that Ubuntu 9.04 is quite an outdated version, and the g95 binaries available on www.g95.org may not be specifically designed for it. However, you can try downloading the "Linux x86_64" binary, as it should be compatible with 64-bit systems like yours.

If that does not work, you can try installing g95 using the terminal on Ubuntu. Open the terminal and type in the following command: "sudo apt-get install g95". This will install g95 from the Ubuntu repositories and should work for your system.

If you are still having trouble, I suggest seeking help from the Ubuntu community or the g95 forum. They may have more specific instructions for installing g95 on Ubuntu 9.04.

I hope this helps. Good luck with your installation!
