Hello list,

I have been following the thread on the octave mailing list about
building octave 2.1.64 on MacOs X.  I have tried to follow Samir's
path but without success.

I have Xcode 1.5 with the november 2004 update:
$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.3/specs
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1671)


I have noticed that Samir uses the flag

--with-f77=/usr/local/bin/g77  

However my Fortran compiler comes from Fink 
$ which g77
/sw/bin/g77

and ths scary thing is:
$ g77 -dumpversion
GNU Fortran (GCC) 3.4.1
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

So I am afraid things from 3.4 (fink) and from 3.3 (Apple) will
collide.

I have also tried builds after removing the fink compiler.  If I
understand correctly, f2c will then do the job but I also got failures
along this route (different kinds of failures, like the infamous
xerbla etc......)

Question: Can anyone advise me about the path of sanity regarding
Fortran compiler.  Where does the /usr/local/bin/g77 come from?

Thanks for your help,
JF
