Hi! I need a bit of advice, please.

I wrote a code in Fortran using Microsoft Developer. Now I realised that I need to run it in Linux. I used few IMSL subroutines in it. Now I'm trying to compile the program using gfortran compiler in Linux.

The problem is - I don't know how to make the IMSL library work in Linux. Meaning gfortran doesn't recognise IMSL subroutines. I had copied the actual library file (MATHD.LIB) in the same folder and had tried to use "USE" command, but it didn't work, as .mod file was apparently expected instead of .lib one.

So, could anyone help, please? May be there are some command options for gfortran, or something?.. Or may be someone could advice where I might get IMSL for Linux?..

A .LIB file is a specific file format containing compiled source code that (when you're using MS Developer) is recognised by the Microsoft Linker. To use IMSL under linux, you will need to obtain a version of the library that is compiled and built under linux, with your compile/linker.

To buy a version of the IMSL libraries for linux (or other operating systems), have a look here. I'm not sure offhand if they support gfortran.

Alternatively, there are some free, good quality, numerical fortran libraries out there as source code. Netlib is a good place to start looking.

... any suggestions for the source of free IMSL copy?
