Hi,

This usually means that the other developer tools aren't installed. For example if you type:

which gcc

at a prompt, what does it return? If it can't find anything, then you need to install the Xcode 2.4 on your system.

Let us know if that works,

Dave

Hi Dave

Thanks a lot.
I re-installed xcode and everything is working ok.

I have a seemingly simple issue…

My initial goal was to get some python libraries and this has led me down an unwieldy road; I have now installed gcc and gfortran. The curious thing is that while in terminal “which gcc” or “gfortran” directs me to:

/usr/bin/gcc etc.

Shouldn’t this be: /usr/local/bin/gcc ?

I understand I can have multiple copies of these compilers but am worried that other programs will have issues locating the correct compiler. Is there a way to fix this or is this not a problem? Thanks very much.

I have just gotten xcode (2.4) and the gfortran plugin installed and successfully ran a small test program. But when I try and bring in some of the fortran 77 fixed format code from my pc, I think I am running into issues with the line continuation in column 6.

My simple code looks something like this: (I put in dashes where I have spaces)

------program test
c
------REAL*8 krho, !rate of radical entry (1/s)
-----1 kp, !rate of propagation (L/mol/s)
-----2 fc, !frequency of term by comb in particles (1/s)
-----3 ktw !rate of water termination (L/mol/s)
------COMMON/params/krho,kp,fc,ktw
c
------krho = 8.3D0
------write(*,*)'Hello World'
c
------return
------end

The error that I receive is for each of the line continuations (1,2,3) and are of type 1. I tried all sorts of different spacing and tabbing widths, but nothing solved the problem. The error syntax is as:

/test/main.f:3.24:

REAL*8 krho, !rate of radical entry (1/s)
1
Error: Syntax error in data declaration at (1)
/test/main.f:4.7:

1 kp, !rate of propagation (L/mol/s)
1
Error: Unclassifiable statement at (1)
/test/main.f:5.7:

etc.

I miss the green background on column 6 in my visual fortran on the pc to set this column apart. Are there some settings I can change or something I am missing to get this code to work? I look forward to be able to run my programs on my mac!

Thanks very much!

Hi,

you downloaded the installer and let it do it's job, right?

Depending on your version of XCode, you need to pick the fitting version in the installer. Please let us know what exactly you have (version of OS and developer tools) and what you want, then we might be able to help you.

Regards,

Hi,

You probably just need to change your build settings for the project.

In the Groups and Files pane, select the executable target you are trying to build in the Targets group. Press command-I (get info) and navigate to the Rules tab. There is probably an entry for Fortran source files, and from there you can change the "using:" entry to the gfortran compiler (I can't remember what it's referred to off the top of my head).

Hope that helps,

Dave

the gfortran is working in that the 'hello world' type of program will build. however when I try to build some of my older code involving file management I get errors of the type

Error: Syntax error in OPEN statement at (1)
open(6,file=fname,type='old',form='formatted',err=99)
1 (the 1 is under the f in fname)
fname being declared earlier in the program as character*20
I cannot find any changed syntax for the 'open' statement in the documentation - can you help me
thanks

Thank you very much for the help. My fortran codes were originally developed on DEC VAX and so contain quite a lot of non-standard bits
best wishes
