Error 1: make

[pradeep22]

Hello...

I am using opensuse 12.1 and am trying to install a software lev00_3.29. I followed the instructions in the manual which required me to use the 'make' command. But on giving the make command

I got the following error

PLS HELP
thanks in advance

The error is indicating that ld cannot find the "U77" library.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with "U77", but when searching for it I ran across this statement:
"There is an independently developed implementation of most of what's in Sun's U77 library included in the run-time library of g77."
(somewhat older... source: gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2003-08/msg00244.html )

Then there's this:
"Note that as of the GCC 4.x series, g77 has been discontinued, replaced by gfortran, which produces programs that do not require an extra libg2c runtime library."
(source: stackoverflow.com/questions/2406581/what-is-libg2c-library#tab-top )

With that, perhaps you can get away with not using the -lU77 argument? (Since g77 was replaced by gfortran and the objects produced by gfortran don't require the extra runtime library.)

Honestly, this is just a shot in the dark... I'm hoping someone else will also answer that is a little more familiar with U77 & gfortran.
