Hi,
Recently I tried to install PGPLOT graphic library on my Linux server so that I can write Fortran programs to create some graphs based on my data by using PGPLOT subroutines. However the installation was halted by some techniqual problems.

The author suggests A Fortran-77 compiler for your computer system is needed for the installation. The author for this open-source library suggests to use GNU Fortran-77. Since I already installed Intel Fortran for Linux on my server, I am interested in knowing what are the differences between them. It seems like I have to add new code into configuration list if I want to use PGPLOT.

Thanks!

Roy

The differences between Intel Fortran and g77 would fill a book. But this shouldn't matter. What you need is a compiler that supports Fortran 77, and Intel Fortran does.
