Here is the fortran 77 compiler for Mac OS X. http://hpc.sourceforge.net/ We downloaded the g77 (second item on the page) installation command is: sudo tar xvf g77...tar -C / To get the file to run, it must be marked executable. From terminal, run the following command in the directory where the file has been downloaded: chmod ug+x bzams1 Here is the bug I got. Deleting line 4 from the code eliminates the first error, and then the remaining should be non-fatal. bzams1.for:4: $DEBUG ^ Invalid first character at (^) [info -f g77 M LEX] bzams1.for: In subroutine `odeint': bzams1.for:26: warning: common /path/ kmax,kount,dxsav,xp(KMAXX),yp(NMAX,KMAXX) 1 bzams1.for:4187: (continued): COMMON /PATH/ KMAX,KOUNT,DXSAV,XP,YP 2 Common block `path' is 816016 bytes in length at (1) but 8160016 bytes at (2) ______________________ Andy Green Senior in Astrophysics California Institute of Technology
