fortcom Error

tonylas · ‎08-04-2005

Dear all,

i have installed the 32bit Fortran compiler on my Redhat 9.0. After following the installation instructions, i tried to compile a simple hello world 'hello.f'code as follows:

--------------------- code -------------------

program hello

print *, 'Hello World'

end program

-----------------------------------------------

Then i excecute the instruction:

>> ifort hello.f

And i got the following error message:

fortcom: Error: Illegal character in statement label field

fortcom: Error: First statement in file must not be continued

........... and many more fortcom errors

Can someone pls give me some tips on how to solve this compilation error?

Thanks

Rgds

Tony

ifort defaults to fixed format, when the file name suffix is .f or .for. Use either an option such as -FR to set free format, or the .f90 suffix.
