load fortran module for matio libraries using gfortran

[cbarmpar]

Dear all,

I am interested in using fortran and an external library called matio used to save arrays to matlab .mat files.

I have installed the matio and matio-dev packages from synaptics but i cannot compile a code receiving an error

christos@christos-laptop:~/Desktop$ gfortran -o test test.f90 -lmatio -lz
test.f90:2.13:

    USE MATIO
             1
Fatal Error: Can't open module file 'matio.mod' for reading at (1): No such file or directory

How can i load a module in order to use it in fortran through the GCC compiler?

Many thanks in advance

Hi.

If you have compiled the library, then try removing the use matio statement. That is used somewhat like the old include statement (one compiles a file having a module x statement, producing x.mod, which the compiler then includes in source code with use x).

It looks like you are already using the matio library with -lmatio

I don't think it is intended that you do both the use matio and -lmatio, but I am not familar with matio specifically.

Good luck ... cheers, drl
