<p class=MsoNormal>First of all, thanks to Baris, Joerg and Paolo for getting
back so fast…you guys are great. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I will answer your questions in detail later. I ran
into this problem last night around midnight and I apologize for my rather
cryptic posting, but I was half asleep. I’m digging into this a little
more deeply, so let me pass on the latest…it’s very strange…it
may be a “permissions” or file type matter or some sort of flag
that needs to be fed to gfortran. I think I can claim to be a wizard on
the XP-SP2 registry and file system, but Linux is still strange to me.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m in a directory ~/espresso-3.2.3/bin console
window, and when I type “ls –lsh pw.x” I get<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 pmpgrant pmpgrant 10 2007-10-23 23:09 pw.x
-> ../PW/pw.x<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Now there is no pw.x in PW (only holds .o and .f90 files)
and I think what this is saying that Linux thinks the pw.x in ~/bin is a “0-byte
link” to an executable “somewhere.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Yet when I open ~/bin in Dolphin (the new KDE file manager),
the Details view shows that the file pw.x is 2.7 MB in size! At the
bottom of the window, Dophin reports (I wish screenshots could be sent to the
forum) “pw.x -> ../PW/pw.x Executable File (Link)” It’s
as if the Linux “Link Editor (that’s old IBM jargon…what’s
it called here? make.x?)” got confused and assigned a link attribute to what
is really an executable binary file. The same pattern holds true for all
the QE .x files to be found in ~/bin. I’ll bet if the “l”
attribute can be removed, I’ll have an executable (how can I do this…chmod?).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks again, and I will get back with details on the
problems installing Intel compiler is having with Ubuntu 7.10 which I think is
a bug in the former.<o:p></o:p></p>
