g77 is not listed in lucid

Asked by krahim

g77 is not listed as a package in lucid.

I use g77, I cannot use gfortran, well I can but I have an old code base, I have to go through and update. This is more work that I have time for. It will be easier for me to simply use g77, which I *will* somehow do.

I would ask that you please include g77 in lucid to make it easy on me.
I currently use Karmic and get g77 from Hardy repos. This means i uses gcc 3.4 from hardy to get g77 and gcc and gfortran from karmic.

Hi Isabel,

So I think g77 is in hardy, which is 8.04, not 9.04. To install g77 I had to include hardy sources:

deb http://hu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy universe
deb-src http://hu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main universe
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main universe

in addition to my karmic sources. Using aptitude I installed:
sudo aptitude install g++-3.4 g77

This gives me g77 which is based on an older gcc.

To use gfortran, I think you can just install the package without adding hardy sources. Currently I have karmic
64 bit, and I'm running gfortran from karmic and g77 from hardy.

So:
sudo aptitude install gfortran should do it.

Hope this helps,
Karim
