Try g77 code.f >& report.txt or g77 code.f > report.txt 2>&1 The ">" alone only causes stdout to be redirected to a file. ">&" in some shells causes everything to get redirected. In other shells "2>&1" tells the shell to redirect stderr to the same location as stdout.

The line g77 code.f > report.txt only creates a file report.txt of zero lenght and any error or warning messages from the compiler only scroll by on the screen. I get the same behaviour working in KDE graphic mode and in plain text mode (SuSE Linux 8.1) with various versions of gcc. I am using 3.3.2 now. And the same happens with gcc 3.2.2 running under MinGW/Windows98 so I doubt it is an OS problem. I have not found any clue in the gcc manuals.
